Pawel, who is supported at Treehouse, loves to read, and when he is at Donaldsons, he likes to visit the library to find new books to read. π
His favourite book is Weβre Going On A Bear Hunt. He often reads it several times in one day, and he knows the story so well that he likes to re-enact the story on his walks around the grounds at Donaldsons.
Reading has so many benefits for Pawel. When he wants to feel calm, he can find comfort sitting reading his favourite book. Acting out the story is a way for Pawel to build his confidence through expressing himself.
Treehouse is our specialist wellbeing service for neurodivergent adults aged 16+ who require an individualised programme and bespoke environment to support and improve their wellbeing, skills development and independence.
We provide safe, supportive spaces where young adults, like Pawel, can thrive in their own way, with routines designed around their interests, strengths and goals.

Over the past few weeks, weβve been lucky to welcome @dynamic_earth to Vibe every second Tuesday, bringing science, discovery and hands-on learning to our campus. Through exciting activities and immersive experiences, our young people have explored everything from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space. πͺ
One of the highlights was travelling through space in a huge inflatable planetarium! In this session, young people had the chance to visit different planets, zoom beyond our solar system, and even look back at Earth from Saturn.
The session also featured the opportunity to explore the international space station through a VR headset. There was also the chance to hold a real piece of the moon and even smell it! π
Bringing these experiences directly to Vibe means that young people have been able to build confidence exploring new topics, engage with science through sensory-friendly experiences, and develop curiosity and excitement about the world and universe around them.
Dynamic Earthβs inclusive approach allowed everyone to take part in a way that worked for them, helping young people feel supported and inspired.
Thanks to these sessions, many of the young people will already feel familiar with the activities and themes when Vibe visit the Dynamic Earth centre later this month, making the trip a more comfortable, exciting and accessible experience for everyone.
Next week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week. There is more awareness of neurodiversity than ever, but itβs time to take action. This year, weβll be highlighting what you can do to make workplaces more neuro-inclusive, including small actions you can take straight away.

Pupils at our Sensational Learning Centre recently had an undersea adventure at @deepseaworld_fife.π¦
Going through the underwater tunnel was a real highlight. The young people were fascinated to see the fish and other sea life up close, and asked lots of interesting questions throughout the day.
Trips like this show just how much young people enjoy learning about new subjects and being in different environments. A big thank you to everyone at Deep Sea World for making this such a special day.
