Sensory Garden and Play Area |
A sensory garden is open in the summer months at the South West Centre. This area allows children and parents the fun of exploring a range of different smells and sights whilst also providing opportunities to challenge the older, more physically able child, with obstacles to stimulate co-ordination and confidence.
The Sensory Garden was constructed by volunteers from GE Sensing of Taunton, who with the support of local suppliers, donated their time and skills to provide this superb facility for the children and families attending the Charity’s South West Centre

"The first time any professional had attempted an assessment that covered all areas of development. Previously it's been fragmented with each Consultant only looking at their particular concerns. Brainwave brings all areas together."
DOWN SYNDROME TESTIMONIAL - EMMA
I think Brainwave is brilliant. I'd been looking for this type of help, and although it took me three years, I know I've found it.
The therapists are fantastic; they are so supportive. At the Initial Assessment, they really gave us hope and made us feel there is something we can do to help Emma. They were there to help us, and to teach us how to help Emma.
So many people you see suggest that you do a bit of this, or that you do that, it can become quite mind-boggling. To have a clear and structured programme written down in a simple list that you know is addressing all her areas of development, is brilliant. You know then that you're doing as much as you can.
Although Emma had just taken a few steps when we started Brainwave a couple of months ago, I still can't quite get my head around seeing her walking about now. We started with working on her balance, and now she's doing so well.
