As soon as Alex hears, ‘we’re going to LauraLynn!’ his face lights up.
For Alex, LauraLynn is all about happiness and having fun.
It’s his very own Wonderland.
His favourite place is the sensory room. The lights, soothing sounds and sensations transport him to a magical world.
The LauraLynn staff are always giving him cuddles and talking to him. He loves to feel all the different textures they brush against his skin, like feathers and rope lights with their fun and sparkly colours.
But I think Alex’s absolute favourite thing in the sensory room is the musical waterbed. The gentle movements sway him, while he’s listening to enchanting sounds and songs. He just lies on the bed and floats off to Wonderland.
I can’t describe the joy it gives him when he’s in LauraLynn.
It’s as if the daily struggles and challenges we both face just melt away and is replaced with peace, happiness and fun.
There are very few people I’d trust to look after Alex. But I trust the LauraLynn team implicitly with Alex, which means I can take a little time for myself. So, I get to rest and I feel recharged when it’s time to take Alex home.
I guess you can say Alex and I go to LauraLynn and each of us discover our own Wonderland.
I’d love for every family in the same boat as mine to be able to go to LauraLynn and find their own Wonderland.
- Nicola, Alex's Mum
