Sensory Aid library
The family room at Unique Ways HQ features our sensory aid library – which is exactly what it sounds like. Your child can try out as many of our aids as they like, and members can take them home for a small hire fee. Not only are these toys a lot of fun, they serve as excellent learning and development aids for children with additional needs.
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, so we fully recommend taking a look – whether you pop by specifically, or during one of our coffee mornings.
