Our sensory supports are now LIVE at Choices đź’™
Healthcare environments can be difficult for lots of different reasons — bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, uncertainty, sensory overload, communication needs or simply feeling overwhelmed in a clinical space.
So we’ve been making some practical changes.
Our clinic now has a range of sensory, communication and environmental supports available, including ear defenders, earplugs, sunglasses, fidgets, communication cards, yes/no paddles, whiteboards, softer lighting, ambient lamps and calming sounds.
These supports are there for neurodivergent people, people with learning disabilities, and anyone else who might find them helpful.
You do not need a diagnosis. And you do not need permission to use them.
This work has been shaped by feedback about the barriers people can experience when accessing healthcare, and we’re incredibly grateful to the Co-op Community Fund for helping us turn some of that feedback into practical change.
And importantly, this isn’t finished.
We’ll be asking people who use the supports what helped, what didn’t, and what else we could do to make accessing Choices easier.
Because accessibility shouldn’t be a one-off project.
It should be something we keep listening to, learning from and improving. đź’™
