Sensory Room |
Sensory input provides the essential foundation for learning. Most children develop their sensory awareness by exploring their environment when learning to crawl and walk and by having access to a variety of sensory stimuli through their daily activities.
Many of the children who come to Brainwave need extra sensory input to help them gain an understanding of their environment.
Our sensory rooms are interactive spaces in which equipment stimulates the senses, primarily vision, hearing, smell and touch. This allows therapists to encourage sensory awareness, establish simple cause and effect responses, perform flexible evaluations and supply useful ideas for the family to take home.

"What we appreciated was your honesty. Although you said you couldn't make Kieran better, you gave us HOPE that Kieran could improve. This we valued and still do… We can't thank you enough for all the support you gave us. We always say Kieran would not have achieved what he has today, and we would not have been as positive without the hope you instilled in us."
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.
