Autism Practical Support Holiday Club
Autism Practical Support
A summary
Welcome to Autism Practical Support's Holiday Club!
APS's holiday clubs are designed to create a warm, structured, and genuinely inclusive space where autistic children and young people can explore new experiences at their own pace, build confidence through hands‑on activities, and enjoy meaningful social connection in an environment that understands and celebrates their individuality.
Run by autism‑informed activity workers, our holiday clubs offer a safe, engaging, and deeply supportive environment where every child is welcomed as they are and encouraged to take part in fun and confidence‑building activities. With a focus on understanding individual needs, nurturing strengths, and creating joyful shared experiences, we provide a space where autistic children can explore, connect, and thrive during the school break.
This club is open to SEND children and their siblings.
Respite spaces for children who need a little quiet or sensory-friendly time will also be provided.
Delicious and nutritious lunches and snacks will be provided each day, giving children the comfort of tasty, balanced meals that help them stay energised, focused, and ready to enjoy every activity.
