Families across Middlesex County, New Jersey now have a new place to turn for safe, inclusive play: an indoor sensory gym specifically designed for children with autism, sensory processing differences, and other developmental disabilities.
The newly opened facility in Piscataway offers specialized equipment like trampolines, swings, and zip lines, all created to encourage movement, regulation, and social interaction in a fun, low-pressure environment. Unlike traditional gyms or playgrounds, this space was built with neurodiverse children in mind—giving them room to be themselves while building confidence, coordination, and connection.
Why Sensory Play Spaces Matter
For many parents of children on the autism spectrum, finding a safe and supportive environment for active play can feel nearly impossible. Traditional spaces are often overwhelming—too loud, too crowded, or not designed for kids who need extra support.
That’s why the opening of this sensory-friendly gym is so important. These spaces meet kids where they are, offering regulation-focused equipment and activities that support both physical and emotional development. Even more importantly, they create a place where neurodiverse and neurotypical children can interact side-by-side, breaking down social barriers early in life.
A Win for the Community—and a Reminder of What’s Needed
While this new gym is a huge step forward for inclusive recreation in New Jersey, it also highlights the broader need for accessible autism services. As awareness grows, families are seeking not just play environments, but professional guidance and therapeutic support.
That’s where we come in. At Empower ABA, we provide compassionate, evidence-based support for families seeking ABA therapists in New Jersey. Our experienced team works closely with children and their families to develop personalized strategies that promote learning, behavior growth, and emotional well-being—both in therapy and everyday life.
Support for Families, Beyond the Gym
