Families in Middlesex County now have a much-needed addition to the local autism community—a new inclusive indoor gym that offers a sensory-friendly, safe space where children of all abilities can play, explore, and thrive. Located in Piscataway, the facility provides equipment specifically designed to help regulate and engage children with autism and other developmental differences.
The gym’s opening represents more than just another recreation option—it’s a meaningful step toward equity in play and development for kids with disabilities. For many parents, especially those raising both neurodiverse and neurotypical children, finding environments where everyone feels welcome can be a challenge. This new space bridges that gap by combining therapeutic play with an inclusive atmosphere.
Why Sensory Play Spaces Matter for Children With Autism
Sensory-friendly gyms like this one are more than just fun—they’re crucial to development. Children with autism often benefit from environments that provide sensory input in a structured, calming way. Activities such as jumping on a trampoline, swinging, or climbing on soft play equipment can support emotional regulation, improve motor coordination, and encourage social interaction.
For parents seeking meaningful play experiences outside of clinical settings, these kinds of spaces offer a welcome alternative. They provide families with a break from overstimulating public environments, while still helping children work on real developmental goals in a natural setting.
The Role of ABA Therapists in Creating Holistic Support
While inclusive gyms are important, families also need expert guidance when it comes to behavioral and developmental progress. That’s where we come in. Our ABA therapists in New Jersey are trained to support children in both structured clinical settings and real-life environments like these. We recognize the value of play and social engagement, and we incorporate these elements into our individualized ABA therapy programs whenever possible.
We work with families across New Jersey to help children develop communication, self-care, and social skills that extend well beyond the home or therapy center—into schools, communities, and inclusive play spaces like this one.
