SUNSEN services provide essential therapies and well-being practices for children and young people with Special Educational Needs. During the hours of respite that you have booked, your Young person will be emersed in a sensory, safe and comfortable environment that has lots to offer. Your child can have the opportunity to use the sensory room, which is a relaxing, stimulating room that calms, comforts and can enhance learning through occupational therapy. The sensory room can also help enhance and engage different areas of the brain leading to improved information retention, while also improving visual, auditory and tactile processing. Your young person can also take part in daily living skills such as cooking which is a fun but important skill. Art therapy is also ran at our SUNSEN centre which allows children with ASD to recognise and control their emotions in a structured situation. This helps identify triggers and coping mechanisms which can be transferred into home life. There will also be access to an outdoor sensory garden where children can relax and overcome the hyper-sensitivity to their surroundings while providing them with gardening tasks and a functional outdoor space that can be used for playtime. Alongside, their will be ongoing sports, sensory opportunities and arts and crafts that will help maintain structure throughout the day in which will be adjusted and suitable for the specific needs of the young people.
