Face of the Month January 2012!

Each month we choose our favourite photo of a customer with a Learning SPACE leaflet!

This month we have chosen the lovely Frances, pictured here with Katty the Hamster!

Here's what Mum had to say: I caught Frances with her wee Russian Dwarf Hamster, Katty reading about our fav shop Learning Space! Thought we could enter the competition with this photo?

(In Case anyone is wondering its red PVC tape she has over her nose!! She likes how it feels and it's smell :-) )

Frances has won a £5 Learning SPACE voucher - why not email us a pic of you or your children with a leaflet, and see if you can get your picture on the website!

Learning SPACE launch new product range for children with Autism.

Learning SPACE are excited to announce the launch of our new catalogue, full to bursting with products specifically selected for children and young adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.

All children learn in different ways, and at their own speed. Children with additional needs can require more support and specifically tailored equipment and products. This is not always easy to source - in fact, one of the reasons Learning SPACE came into being was the owner’s frustration at being unable to find the products that were needed.

Our new product range is specifically designed for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. It offers solutions for many of the challenges facing children with an ASD and their families. The catalogue covers sensory toys and equipment - from light shows to weighted blankets - toys and games, timers and incentive charts and much more. Everything in one place, so no need to spend hours scouring websites; at competitive prices, and of the highest quality.Have a look - Autism

Our well trained and experienced staff can help you with any queries you might have - come down and have a chat or give us a call!
