"A Space to Belong" Sensory Room at Abbey Mead

Creating a Sensory Room at Abbey Mead School We believe in nurturing every child to achieve their full potential. Today, we're reaching out to our community with a dream: to create a sensory room that will transform the lives of our children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). For many of our children with SEND, the usual classroom environment can be overwhelming. The sensory room will be a haven where our special children can thrive and feel at home. We want to create a cozy space filled with soft lights, soothing sounds, and various textures. It will be a place where children can rest gently or explore fascinating tactile experiences. We see a space where breakthroughs happen daily, and every Abbey Mead child feels valued. A sensory room at Abbey Mead would be an amazing addition where: - Children who struggle to focus can find calm and clarity - Those overwhelmed by the busy school day can feel safe and in control - Children who find it hard to express themselves can communicate through touch, sight, and sound - Every Abbey Mead child knows they belong This room will be: - A respite for families who often struggle to find suitable environments for their children - A stepping stone towards greater independence and confidence for our children Thank you for considering our project.
