"When Amanda left school it was a
very stressful time for our family. We realised that she was no
longer a child with complex learning needs and Epilepsy, we now had
a young adult who was going to need support in all areas for the
rest of her life."
"The worry about how she would fill
her day caused many a sleepless night for us. I'd been looking for
activities for Amanda to get involved in now that she was going to
be home 24/7. Just by chance, a friend told me about Sense
Scotland."
"I want to thank each individual
member of the Arts team who have been involved with Amanda - Jon in
Drama; David in Music and Audrey and Mhari in Art. They have given
my daughter a personality that we had never seen in all her years
at school."
"Amanda has gone from being someone
who kept her head down, arms folded and unsure of the world around
her, to someone who has become more confident in her daily life and
able to express herself better and communicate more
appropriately."
