Sensory-friendly, accessible, and low-pressure inclusive school holiday activities for families in Adelaide.
You’ve done enough this term. Let me help with the holidays.
If you’re here, you’re probably planning around more than just dates and times.
You’re wondering if it’ll be too loud.
If there’s somewhere to take a break.
If staff will actually get it.
I know that feeling. I’ve been there too.
This guide isn’t for everyone. It’s for families like ours. For the kids who need things done a little differently. And the parents who are tired of chasing answers.
It won’t fix everything. But it might make these holidays a little easier.
