    SEN FAMILY SATURDAYS 

    We run sessions every Saturday morning at Hornsey Road Children's Centre from 10:30 to 2pm, with resources and facilities to aid creativity and sensory needs of autistic children. The children have free play/craft activity, soft play and lunch. Once a month we have a special activity: outing, workshop or entertainer. Parents are given the opportunity to join a support group.
