Animals:
Our mobile zoo offers excellent advantages for people with special educational needs. Interacting with animals can foster empathy, enhance understanding, and instil a sense of responsibility in them. Additionally, it can help them regulate their emotions and increase their involvement in group activities.
Research has shown that individuals with SEN have shown enhancements in communication, creativity, empathy, motivation, responsibility, and overall well-being when they engage with animals. The findings indicated that incorporating animals into educational environments
greatly benefits learners.
At Wild Science, Animal Therapy has gained immense popularity within the SEN community. We showcase various animals, including reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and invertebrates. Our selection goes beyond just appearances; the texture of these animals plays a crucial role in our therapy sessions. For children with special educational needs, experiencing various skins, scales, and fur provides a significant sensory experience.
Science:
Engaging in science activities provides people with valuable multi-sensory, hands-on experiences. When participating in these scientific tasks, people can actively "do" and see the outcomes of their handiwork.
Wild Science has designed a unique range of topics made for individuals with special educational needs, focusing on texture and creativity to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone. Among our most sought-after science activities are the sensory bubble workshop and the sensory slime-making workshop. Creating slime provides a rich, multisensory experience that resonates with both neurodiverse children and adults. It supports sensory development and emotional regulation and fosters creative expression. Additionally, slime making is a fun and flexible activity that people of all ages can enjoy.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have other topics we offer. Every topic is available for anyone and everyone. We can tailor the lessons to meet the needs of all participants and accommodate your specific requirements.
