What families say
Grace has been absolutely incredible. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to our son's needs and he loves the play-based activities, which both engage him and gently challenge him to progress. Without Grace's expertise, patience and care, we wouldn't be where we are today.
Our family just love Grace and the Sensory Submarine! A good hour of sensory, messy fun that works on lots of her fine and gross motor skills, and links in with Makaton during story time. My little boy loves it as well.
I attended Grace's ‘Fussy Eaters’ workshop — a great talk on ways to encourage our autistic children to try and eat better. I feel much better equipped to try new ways now. Will definitely be attending more in the future!
My son attended the Sensory Submarine through school and always came home talking about Grace. After the sessions, I reached out to Grace to seek support with a private OT assessment. From my initial contact with Grace she made me feel relaxed at what could have been a daunting experience for a parent. Grace was so understanding and knowledgeable of my son's needs and helped me understand my son's condition in an empathetic and caring way. My son has attended for his assessment and some 1-1 sessions and he is always excited to go to see Grace. My two children benefited from the sensory play classes offered monthly and this allows them a safe space to regulate their emotions and meet other children without judgement.
