1) Sensory Programme (Adult)
• Sensory Drop In
When? Friday 1 – 2pm or 2 – 3pm
Where? Burton Stone Community Centre
Cost? £3 per session (1st session free)
The sensory drop-in is a unique session that has been developed for adults with profound and multiple disabilities/ complex needs. These sessions provide a unique opportunity to make music using a range of accessible technology and sensory resources – meaning that all young people can play an equal part in the music making, whatever their individual needs and abilities.
As opposed to a traditional workshop setting, the Drop-In has a much more flexible structure, allowing the participants and their support worker an opportunity to work together to explore the environment, and find activities they both enjoy. The session offers a range of stimuli including:
o Singing and signing
o A range of sensory (touch, feel, smell, see) and non-technical music making
o MIDIcreator (by pressing a switch you hear a sound)
o Soundbeam (by moving in front of the beam you play music and trigger images)
o Apollo Ensemble (transforms body movements into sound, light, image & video)
o G Force (by making a sound into the microphone you change pictures)
o Vibroacoustic Soundbox/ beanbag (by sitting/ lying on the box or beanbag you feel the vibrations of the music through your body)
• Sensory Movement
When? Tuesday 10.30 – 12pm
Where? Burton Stone Community Centre
Cost? £3 per session (1st session free)
The sessions have been designed specifically to enable those with high support needs to explore their movements and express themselves creatively, whilst at the same time being fun and energetic to do.
The sessions have been structured so that they can be accessed on a multi-sensory level, using dance and play to engage participation on both a one to one and group basis. A wide range of sensory resources and musical genres are used and wherever possible the group members’ musical interests are incorporated so that everyone can take part with their support worker in their own way. Time is also spent during sessions on relaxation and massage.
• Creative Sensory
When? Wednesday 10 – 11am
Where? Burton Stone Community Centre
Cost? £3 per session (1st session free)
The Creative Sensory sessions provide customers with an opportunity to explore a range of different creative art forms including painting, collage and mosaic work. All activities are designed specifically for those with disabilities, using colours, shapes, textiles and tactile fabrics that can be appreciated on a multi-sensory level. During the sessions the group members will create a range of creative works personal to themselves.
2) Sensory Projects (Youth)
