It's National Apprenticeship Week! 🥳
Last year, we were thrilled to welcome two new apprentices to Autism East Midlands.
Jacob joined our Marketing Team and has been capturing video content across our sites, as well as sharing all the fabulous things we do on our school and AEM websites.
Freddie joined our Painting & Decorating team, recently assisting with decorative cladding at one of our residentials and played a crucial role in the recent decoration of our AEM Board Room, introducing brand colours into the design.
We're so proud of how far they've come and we can't wait to see what they'll do next!

A Fishy Sensory Experience 🐟
This week, one of our classes at Sutherland House School enjoyed a group sensory story.
The story was called... the Rainbow Fish! 🌈
Pupils enjoyed listening to the calming music, playing in the water fish bowl and feeling the rainbow fishes gills on the sequin mat.
Using sensory stories frequently promotes attention and focus with reading, builds language skills and provides safe sensory exploration.
