Support available
We provide activities, social groups and practical support for children and adults living with neurodivergent or complex conditions or additional support needs.
SensationALL is so-called because of our inclusive ethos that aims to support ALL AGES, ALL CONDITIONS and ALL FAMILY MEMBERS.
Whether you are pre or post-diagnosis, we want to empower you and your loved-ones to thrive in every stage of life through a range of services.
Our centres are safe places where individuals are accepted as they are and where they can be themselves within our supportive community.
We share our expertise whenever you are facing challenges and our specialist staff work with individuals to build their social skills, confidence and self-esteem. If you have concerns about your child’s learning, communication, sensory processing, social interaction or general development then we are here to help you!
Our timetable of activity groups for ALL ages and abilities fill the gap in recreational and social opportunities for those who need a tailored sensory environment to have fun and make friends.
It is our mission to provide activities and support for families living with any additional need, without restrictions on age, price or diagnosis
Who we support
Our support extends to parents, siblings, extended family, carers, teachers and other associated professionals. We want to equip your whole family with practical solutions to the issues associated with your condition.
No diagnosis is required to access our services.
No geographic/local authority restrictions apply – if you can get to either of our centres (in Westhill, Aberdeenshire and Rosemount, Aberdeen) or any of our outreach locations then you are welcome to attend. Some services are available online (parent/carer support and training).
You can self-refer by contacting us or registering online.
Who we are
SensationALL’s team consists of qualified individuals, with over 50 years of combined professional knowledge and experience, who are dedicated to providing services that meet the needs of our families. Our founders are parents of neurodivergent children who recognised the lack of practical services in northeast Scotland and sought to fill the gap in support and activities for those with additional support needs. You can read more about our story here.
Many of our staff, trustees and volunteers have their own neurodivergent conditions or are parent/carers of those with support needs so their lived experiences mean they have first-hand understanding of the situations our families face on a daily basis.
It is vitally important to us that we provide a needs-led service that responds and adapts to demand therefore, we promote an open dialogue with our families and encourage them to regularly give feedback and suggestions.
We aim to be responsive rather than prescriptive through personalised support for each individual based on their personal areas of need so they are included and valued.
