点评:I’m really sorry to say the place wasn’t appropriate for our children at all. Too much upper body stuff and not enough play. As two totally different kids ours struggled to wear the socks provided by the company so couldn’t use the main part of the room. We have ‘sticky socks’ for most activities but weren’t allowed to use those. This was an insurance issue. I had paid £20 for 2 hours, but without forcing the ‘new socks’ we couldn’t have stayed longer than 30 minutes. Both myself and my friend decided to push through with the Ultimate Warrior socks so they could explore other areas. We noticed a little dysregulated child in the same area and realised the place struggles with neurodiversity awareness in general.
I asked if anyone there was trained to support them, but we all decided together it probably came down to the general manager, who both works from home and also lives in another county...
I suggested I make contact with the company to say theirs is exactly the sort of place our children really need for movement and sensory enrichment BUT the same children also struggle with their super-sensitive hands and feet. I don’t know what the answer is, but ours spent more time sat with us regulating themselves so they could cope with the very strange socks than throwing themselves around the equipment. I did notice mine attempting a balancing activity which warmed my heart, and he never gave up. For the neurodivergent kids I teach, I would say the majority would benefit more from places like Funky Warehouse or the inflatable spaces like Jumping Fun where rules are safe but less rigid for our young thinkers!
Sorry, I felt Ultimate Warriors missed the nuances needed for total inclusion. Best for children with less quirks who can just get on with it sadly!
翻译:非常抱歉,这个地方根本不适合我们的孩子。上半身训练太多,玩耍的时间太少。我们家两个孩子性格迥异,穿不上公司提供的袜子,所以没法去主要区域。我们带了“防滑袜”,但大部分活动都用不了,却被禁止使用。这跟保险有关。我花了20英镑买了两个小时,但如果不强迫他们穿“新袜子”,我们最多只能待30分钟。我和朋友决定还是让他们穿上“终极战士”袜子,这样他们就可以去其他区域玩了。我们注意到同一个区域里有个情绪不太稳定的小朋友,这才意识到这家机构在神经多样性意识方面存在问题。
我问过那里是否有人受过相关培训来帮助他们,但我们一致认为这可能要由总经理负责,而他既在家办公,又住在另一个郡……我建议联系公司,告诉他们他们的场地正是我们孩子真正需要的运动和感官刺激场所,但这些孩子也同样面临着手脚过度敏感的问题。我不知道该如何解决,但我们的孩子花更多的时间坐在我们身边,调整自己以适应那些非常奇怪的袜子,而不是在各种游乐设施上乱跑乱跳。我注意到我的孩子尝试了一个平衡练习,这让我很欣慰,而且他从未放弃。就我教的这些神经多样性儿童而言,我认为他们中的大多数会从像Funky Warehouse或Jumping Fun这样的充气游乐场所受益更多,这些地方的规则既安全又不会过于死板,更适合我们这些小小思考者!
抱歉,我觉得Ultimate Warriors缺少一些实现完全包容所需的细节。可惜的是,它更适合那些没有太多特殊癖好、能够轻松适应的孩子!
