The sensory centre has over 30 Registered Special Educational Needs children, supporting those with autism, Asperger, Mowat Wilson Syndrome.
The sensory rooms allow relaxation and an opportunity for children to explore their feelings and interested in a supported environment. They are a great aid in children’s emotional health whilst the calming environment means parents and carers can bond with their children and take time out of what can be a stressful and busy lifestyle.
