“It was really important to us to find a partner that listened and truly understood the outcomes we were looking for when planning our outdoor learning centre and dbdplay did exactly that. They understood the need for a variety of different learning areas to match the diverse needs of our students, the need for unrestricted and ease of movement around the garden with areas of high stimulation through colour, texture, sound and smell. dbdplay have designed and created an accessible, inclusive and inspiring learning environment for our cohort of inspirational students.” Treloar School and College. dbdplay.com

Tommy is autistic and receiving support to manage his ADHD. Consistent routines and boundaries help him feel settled and safe. Tommy doesn’t fully understand why he has come into care, so his carers need to be patient, build his self-confidence, offer reassurance and provide him love.
