Now my son is registered with the Action For Children Resource Centre, he is able to access the various clubs and activities that they have on offer. He went to his first group last week and really enjoyed it. The club takes on about 15 children per session, although they have 25 children on the books, so places are given on a first come, first served basis, with a booking system in place.
They run after school clubs and weekend clubs, which run for a couple of hours, enough to give me a bit of a break, knowing he is in safe hands, as well as time to spend with my other two kids. The interaction he gets from the groups will help his social skills. and there is a good ratio of staff to children. The clubs have a wide range of activities in each session, from art and cooking to pool and Xbox games. They have an outdoor play area and a soothing sensory room with a ball pool and dimmed lights to calm fretful children.
The centre also runs courses for parents of kids with special needs, groups for siblings and trips during the school holidays. I am grateful for such a fantastic resource, which will be available to my son until he is 18.
