The Sensory Place.

The Sensory Place is a parent-led charity offering a network of support to families of children with all disabilities aged 0-18 years. We are all parents of a child or children with a disability and we felt that there were just not enough places to go or things to do when you have a child who has additional needs as mainstream activities are just not accessible for many different reasons. We also experienced judgement and isolation as other people do not always understand the difficulties families like ours face. We knew we weren’t alone in thinking this and so The Sensory Place was born in 2019 with a view to changing this for the better. So whether your child is a sensory seeker, avoider, both or neither – welcome! We hope that you find the support within the group that you are looking for.
