im going to be volenteering in the fall at my local jcc at an autism respite program. i can handle it its just that for one period they are in the gym and it is too echoey in there for me. how can i handle this? one option would be to work with the youngest group who dont have gym time (probably due to sensory issues with the gym because they have something else instead called sensory time/sensory play) but problem is they are seperated from the main group and i take paratransit and someone will be coming in to tell me when they get there that would be harder if im with the youngest group. (also ive never worked with the youngest group before they may be harder to work with

ive volenteered a few times last spring thre but with the two older groups im going to doing it regualrly in the fall.

yes i know i have plenty of time to deal with this but i just like to plan things ahead of time
