Set the visit up for a win
- Preview the plan in one minute: where you're going, what you'll do first, and how you'll leave.
- Use a tiny visual plan (3 steps). Example: “arrive → do one thing → snack + go”.
- Agree on a “done” signal (card/hand sign/word) so leaving isn't a debate mid-overload.
Support gear (no shame, all strategy)
- Noise: headphones/ear defenders + a comfort sound or playlist.
- Light: hat/sunnies/tinted lenses + a “face away from lights” seat plan.
- Body: chewy/fidget + something heavy-worky (stretch band / push-the-wall game).
- Fuel: safe snack + water (hangry looks like overload).
If overwhelm hits
- Lower demands fast: fewer words, fewer questions, slower pace.
- Move to your “exit spot” (outside / car / quiet corner). Safety beats finishing the activity.
- Co-regulate: calm voice + simple choices (“outside or bathroom?”).
- After: recovery time counts. No post-mortem in the moment. Debrief later if needed.
Plan for this spaceArrival → base → exit
A quick, trigger-aware plan built from the scorecard + what this place is like.
Let's make Just Kids Playcentre & Cafe feel doable. Here's the plan.
Timing tip: if you can, aim for off-peak (first thing / mid-morning / after the lunch rush).
First 10 minutes: do a quick lap, pick a “home base”, and keep demands low (orientation beats achievement).
Accessibility: wheelchair entrance isn't confirmed on Google. If this matters for your family, a quick call/message is safest.
