Creative Expression

This practical programme supports students with their cognitive and communication skills. 

Students take part in a range of creative sensory activities.

We explore:

  • Sensory and sound activities
  • Language greetings and context and we encourage students to initiate conversation
  • Self-expression
  • Makaton and visual aids

Students rotate in groups around different ‘sensory stations’ that are set up around a room. Each station features different sensory activities that support cognitive and communication skills – these may include wet, sound, construction and design areas. Students learn about health and wellbeing and develop their independent living skills as a group, using social and sensory stories. We also work with our partners to organise trips and workshops.
