Autistic & Loved

Sometimes, the best review says it all. 💜

“Wonderful experience. Our boys had so much fun. There is stuff to climb on, jump on, swing on, play…”

That’s what we love about A&L. There’s room to move, explore, challenge yourself, try something new, or simply find the kind of play that feels right for you.

Every child gets to experience the gym in their own way—and every little moment of confidence, connection, and joy matters. 🌈

Thank you, Emily, for sharing your family’s experience with us! We’re so happy A&L could be a place where your boys could simply play, explore, and have fun. 💜

At A&L Sensory Gym, Toddler Day gives little ones the space to explore, move, play, and discover at their own pace.

Because toddler play doesn’t have to look a certain way. There’s no rush, no right way to play, and no need to keep up.

Just a welcoming space where your little one can explore and be themselves. 🌈

Toddler Day is today!
Come play with us from 9 AM–1 PM.

📍 A&L Sensory Gym
3811 Harrison St, Ste 200, Davenport, IA

Bring your little ones, bring your creativity, and let’s enjoy a colorful fall morning together! 🍂💜

Some kids climb.
Some swing.
Some run.
Some watch first.
Some find one activity they love and want to do it again and again. 💜

At A&L Sensory Gym, we create opportunities for children to explore, move, play, and discover what feels right for them at their own pace and in their own way.

Because sometimes, the best part of play is simply having a space where your child can be themselves. 🌈

Our community showed up in a beautiful way. 🌈

Because of the incredible support of our families, friends, donors, and community, $13,807.25 was raised for Autistic & Loved!

Every dollar represents something bigger: more opportunities for our children to play, connect, explore, build friendships, and feel like they truly belong.

We’re so grateful to everyone who showed up, gave, shared, encouraged, and believed in what we’re building together.

Thank you for helping us create a community where every child can be celebrated, supported, and loved exactly as they are. 💜

Here’s to more family moments, more connection, and more memories made together. 💜🌈

Looking for a place where your little one can play, explore, move, and simply be themselves?

Come in, get cozy, and make a little fall memory with us. 🍂💜
