The Abilities Project
At the moment, the majority of our book sales go back into the production of releasing more books. If we have anything extra or additional funding, we like to give back and support mainstream schools with equipment and would eventually like to start providing sensory room makeovers.
Our Mission
The abilities project was started in 2020, a year into our book series. We completed our first project in this year during lockdown. We hope to expand The abilities project in the years to come and help many schools with their SEN departments. The government had some cuts with SEN funding in mainstream and we wanted to support this area in particular, as many children with SEN are within mainstream settings and some are currently waiting years on waiting lists for specialist settings.
Sensory Room Project 2020
This was the school project that we completed in July 2020. We created an under water theme. Many children with SEN find aquariums calming places.
In this project we donated many sensory lights and a projector that plays calming images and sounds of the underwater life.
The seating area was replaced and we donated cushions and a soft futon, strobe lights and we had volunteer decorators for 3 days, who turned the plain white walls into an ocean theme! A new fish tank was added and we also supplied new bean bags.
