Sensory Club
The lunchtime Sensory Club runs twice a week. The group is joined by Ryelands School year 6 pupils who come to help and take part in the activities. This allows our students to integrate with their mainstream peers. It also builds awareness within the Ryelands pupils of the different ways of communicating with children with multi-complex needs.
The aim of the club is to create a fun sensory environment. The session is generally themed using different smells such as incense sticks, candles and massage oils. Relaxing music is played to create a calm and soothing environment. The students are also given the opportunity to develop communication skills whilst working with their partner using Tacpacs. Other activities include parachute and bubble fun games, ribbon sticks, and the use of tactile fabrics. All children taking part in these activities have benefited greatly.
