Using CML as an alternative play environment\, children can hone fine and gross motor skills through play\, explore a multi-story medieval castle and shop for “real” groceries. \nAccessibility kits are available for use while visiting CML and include noise-reducing headphones\, sunglasses\, colored glasses\, weighted lap mats\, fidget toys\, liquid timers\, and a visual scheduler.
