Help Build Arkansas’ First Inclusive Sensory Gym
Help Us Build Arkansas’ First Sensory Gym!
We’re creating something truly special: Zachary’s Sensory Gym—a safe, inclusive, and joyful space for children and adults with Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, and other sensory needs to play, self-regulate, and just be themselves.
This will be the first sensory gym of its kind in the state of Arkansas—not a clinical therapy center, but a community haven where neurodivergent individuals can explore, have fun, and feel safe and respected. We believe that sensory regulation and play should be accessible to everyone, and we’re making that vision real.
Why It Matters
Neurodivergent individuals often don’t have spaces that are truly built for them. Traditional gyms, playgrounds, and social settings can be overwhelming or unsafe. Zachary’s Sensory Gym will be designed with love, intention, and understanding to meet those needs—with sensory-friendly equipment, calming zones, and room for joyful movement.
Whether someone needs to bounce, swing, climb, or decompress in a quiet nook, this gym will meet them where they are—with dignity and joy.
Who This Helps
• Children with Autism, ADHD, or SPD
• Teens and adults who need sensory support
• Families looking for an inclusive community space
Our Goal
We’re raising $30,000 to help cover:
• Rent for our facility
• Sensory equipment (swings, crash pads, climbing structures, calming areas)
• Insurance, safety gear, and accessibility modifications
• Startup costs for registration and nonprofit support
Tax-Deductible Donations
We’re a verified nonprofit through PayPal Giving Fund and Candid/GuideStar, so your donation is tax-deductible and your support is transparent and secure.
⸻
Every donation helps. Whether you give $5 or $500, you’re helping us build something that could change lives.
Thank you for believing in this vision.
