‘Helen interacted with all the children and spoke to them using their names and had a great understanding of their needs. We couldn’t believe how well behaved and calm the children were and they all had such an amazing time. The time was well put together and they all went home very happy.’

Our children are not always the easiest to work with, but they really responded to you. I think the use of a few simple props worked very well – they seemed to enable the the kids to take on the story and play with it, engaging their own imaginations, which is a real achievement with autistic children.
