About Communicate Club 

Communicate is a youth club designed especially to support ASD and ADHD children who are aged between 8 years old and 13 years old. With a growing gap in provision, Sen Talk know how important it is to provide opportunities for young people in an environment suitable to their needs. At each session there is a combination of Arts and crafts, sensory activities and social skills opportunities for them to enjoy.

Who can attend communicate?
The club is open to individuals who attend mainstream, independent and specialist provisions. It is advised parents with children requiring additional levels of care should speak to Sen Talk's Children's Project Lead Aoife@sentalk.org before joining the group to assure that suitable adaptations are made and that sufficient support is provided.

Do I need to pay?
Sen Talk CIC is a non-for-profit organisation -  To ensure a secure placement for your child to attend our communication sessions a payment of £50/£25 with concession per term will need to be paid in advance. 

Refreshments
Sen Talk provide basic refreshments during the club of fruit, biscuits and water. However, Sen Talk suggest that parents aim to provide a snack or packed lunch if your child may need something more substantial during the session. Please bear in mind that Sen Talk hold a strict NO NUTS policy. Parents should make staff aware of any allergies as soon as possible.

Can parents attend?
Parents may attend the first session in order to support the settling process. However Sen Talk do prefer that parents do not stay during the sessions following this. With the combination of adults and children, the environment can quickly become overwhelming especially those who may have additional sensory processing difficulties.

COVID-19
Due to restrictions with COVID 19, Sen Talk have introduced new safety measures to ensure that children and parents can enjoy the benefits of our session safely.
