Autism Friendly Airspace
Thank You to the Whylie family for this review of Airspace Autism friendly sessions which take place every Sunday from 9am-10am.
We made our first visit to Airspace in East Kilbride last weekend – taking advantage of their autism friendly session on a Sunday morning. If you haven’t already been yet then I definitely recommend that you give it a try. It’s amazing fun for all ages and great exercise to. We were one of only about 10 families who attended that day and we had full use of the entire facility which was excellent. Matthew had a fantastic time and enjoyed the freedom of being able to move between each area and try all the different activities. There were plenty of staff supervising all areas and doing their very best to make sure we all had a good time as well as ensuring everyone remained safe while using the trampolines. The staff were extremely friendly and happy to help. Well worth £10.95.”
Fun at School
