About
At High Rise it is always our aim to be inclusive and accessible at all times for our guests, but we know that sometimes just a few small adjustments can make all the difference for someone with additional needs.
Each month we offer quieter, reduced sessions tailored to our autistic guests & guests with additional needs.
Whats different during the autism tailored sessions?
Smaller sessions, fewer people in the climbing arena
No music playing in the centre
Shorter, autism friendly safety briefing
Soft play age increased to 12 years old
As always, our instructors are available to provide support and encouragement throughout the sessions.
Clip 'n Climb is suitable for those aged 4+, including autistic adults and parents/carers can also participate in the activity if they like, or can join them in the climbing arena to provide support without climbing themselves.
High Rise staff have had specialist training from Autism NI on how they can best support guests using the centre as part of our work towards achieving the prestigious Autism Impact Award.
There is a Changing Places toilet facility available within High Rise.
We have a set of ear defenders available to borrow (depending on availability) – or guests may bring their own.
Pre-booking is strongly recommended for these events as they often sell out in advance - https://highriseni.ez-runner.com/bookings/launch.aspx
