“What a wonderful experience! We loved how there was something for everyone. We are amazed at how responsive [Rosán] are to each individual child and their way of communicating. We shared the children’s laughter, smiles, giggles, reaching out, and were blown away by how much the children engaged with the artists and the sensory elements.”
“There is so little out there that our children can access, and we love it when [Rosán] visit our school. [They] create a safe space, and we know we are in safe hands! As a staff we feel acknowledged, replenished, and reenergised by the experience. It was a day of shared joy, wonder and awe for everyone.”
