Your team were most helpful and great with the children. \nOur boys both loved it… Ordinarily\, after a few hours one son is on edge\, on the verge of overload. They say living with autism is like living life in a disco … I want to comment about your staff\, … They were utterly brilliant. Patient\, understanding\, and tremendously knowledgeable\, they explained things in such an accessible way\, that there was always someone available. \nMy seven-year-old and my friend’s two boys had a wonderful time and I really appreciated the opportunity for them to enjoy something they would otherwise find quite challenging. \nThey obviously loved the gaming areas and enjoyed making the stickman hit the fruit. The staff in the BBC [micro] area were lovely. In fact\, the tips about getting children coding have already been implemented and they have been using the site that was recommended. My husband wants to come next time! \nA huge thank you for organising the relaxed session. It makes a huge difference to families like mine to be able to get out.
