"It gives her so much independence"

About: Learning Disabilities Doncaster / Diamond Activity and Therapeutic Centre

(as a relative),

Our family member has been at Diamond for 3 1/2 years the enjoyment, fun and strength she has gained since going is amazing, her care is first class we call it school and we always ask her on a sun, tues, thursday night are you going to school the next day ...her answer is always yeah yeah..... and when we collect her on a mon, wed, frid she is always very vocal in the car trying to tell us what she's been up to it gives her so much independence to be with other peers similar to her.

She has cerebral palsy and autism and is non verbal, she is a wheelchair user but again because of Diamond they get her moving about using trampoline, floor work sitting at tables, she has come on so so much and the staff are amazing so helpful and understanding of all her needs ... and we also get 21 hours a week free to do our things knowing she is being cared for, first class.
