Weekend bunch Every Sunday, Brooklyn Play Spot owner Kate Myers, whose son Joe, 4, suffers from pervasive developmental disorder, devotes two hours to families with special-needs children. Young ones with autism, Down syndrome and other disabilities have free reign at the 850-square-foot center (pictured above): They play at the sensory table, participate in art projects or read books with trained professionals. “Kids feel a true sense of independence,” says Myers. Next up: The space will offer a monthlong camp in August for kids with special needs. 399 Atlantic Ave at Bond St, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn (718-852-2494, brooklynplayspot.com). Sun at 10:30am. Drop-in rate $10 per family (up to four people).
