Make content about: Reece got vital sensory support

Six-year-old Reece has autism and speech delay, while his mum Olivia juggled rising costs and her degree to care for him.

This story

Reece was diagnosed with autism at age three and attends a specialist school to help with his speech and understanding. Rising living costs forced his mum Olivia to skip meals so her children could eat while she studied for her degree during respite care days. Support grants provided a colour-changing bubble machine to soothe his sensory needs, a replacement fridge freezer, and a seaside holiday.

Where you could take it

Spend time with Olivia and Reece at home to see how his sensory bubble machine helps keep him calm.
