Thanet Neurodivergent Pride Day 2025: Neuroaffirming Play for Adults With See Me Play

A gentle, exploratory session inviting adults to reconnect with play, creativity, movement, and sensory experiences – in ways that feel affirming, regulating, and self-directed.

This space offers permission to stim, move freely, follow curiosity, and be fully yourself without masking. It’s about reclaiming forms of expression and joy that may have been overlooked or discouraged – and exploring what feels good to you now, as you are.

You’ll find:

• Sensory props and playful materials

• Open-ended art-making

• Movement and music-based exploration

• A calm area with mats and rugs for rest and grounding

Move and explore at your own pace, with facilitators present to support, not direct.

Adults with children are welcome, but this session centres adult participation.
Priority will be given accordingly.

Quiet spaces

If you need a breather or a space to regulate yourself, access to the outside area will be available throughout the day. During the afternoon, a quiet room will be available.
