Sensory Aid library
As a Parent Carer Member, you can borrow some aids for free for a specific time period. Not only are these toys a lot of fun, they serve as excellent learning and development aids for children with additional needs. We just ask that you bring them back in time so they can be available to other Parent Carers to use too.
Many of these specialist aids can be very expensive, so our toy library provides a great opportunity to try before you buy. You might find your child responds really well to something you may never have thought of.
If you are interested in this facility, just ring or ask to speak to our Membership Co-ordinator if you are attending Unique Ways coffee morning or afternoon tea.
