Elaine Green, Service Coordinator
What’s your role at SensationALL and what does it involve?
I am one of the Service Coordinators, concentrating on training (parents/professionals/employers), Learning Pathways Plus (LPP) sessions for individual neurodivergent schoolchildren, and organising the ‘Tea & Tips’ sessions (1-2-1 chats with a practitioner for parents). I also carry out some of the H&S tasks such as weekly fire alarm testing, fire extinguisher checks, the stocking of First Aid kits, plus building, garden, car park and play park inspections.
What do you like most about SensationALL / what does SensationALL mean to you?
I am in awe of our Service Team – their knowledge and compassion is amazing and when you see them working with our attendees, I just think they are awesome. I work in the Administration office and everyone in there is so kind and helpful, with a great sense of humour. It’s a pleasure to go into work each day and I am immensely proud of the work that we all do.
How long have you been at SensationALL?
I’ve been here for just over 3 years now.
What’s your favourite sensory activity?
I love the vibration plate! If I have a couple of minutes whilst boiling the kettle, you’ll probably find me on the machine getting a good shake down! I also love standing on a Bosu balance ball – it feels like I’m doing some exercise.
A fun fact about yourself!
I am also a Wedding Ceremony Officer, as well as a Match Day First Aider at Pittodrie. In my spare time, I volunteer with the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance and as a Community Cardiac Responder in Westhill.

A fun fact about yourself
I recently got into running and my first ever competitive race was Edinburgh marathon last year! I then did Tough Mudder two weeks after and 4 other races before the end of 2025.
