Dayspace is now offering online session activities so that anyone with a learning disability can join from any location.
From the 1st October, Dayspace will be relaunching its service which will include more:
- Interactive Sessions – live interactive activity sessions that can be accessed from any location
- Session Videos – recorded sessions that can be played at any time, paused, and replayed time and time again
All interactive sessions will be run as part of an ongoing weekly programme and different priced packages are available to reflect the number of sessions customers would like to participate in. We encourage everyone to take a free taster session to assess whether the session is suitable.
About Dayspace
At Dayspace we are committed to providing quality, person-centred activities for people within the learning disability community. Our vision has always been to see day services for adults with a learning disability transformed, by creating dynamic activity programmes that are tailored to suit individual needs and personalities.
We believe that a day provision should be interesting, challenging, sociable and most of all, fun! So we work hard to create a positive and encouraging environment where customers and their support network all feel part of the Dayspace family.
We recognise that everyone has unique needs, abilities and interests and the focus on ensuring the sessions are suitably tailored, continues with the transition into our Interactive Online activities.
We love what we do! And we hope that you will join us.
Sessions
With careful consideration we have selected the following sessions from our in-house programme to offer as an interactive online session.
Createspace
This popular, creative session encourages participants to explore and express their individuality through a variety of artistic processes and mediums. Online, this session allows people to follow the session leader through an artistic process and enjoy sharing their work with others.
Soundspace
In Soundspace we explore music of all forms. It is an interactive group where everyone is encouraged to express themselves using percussion and voice. Led by enthusiastic professional musicians, participants can request their favourite songs to sing along to.
Dancespace
This fun, energetic session encourages social interaction online and promotes the benefits of dance and movement for physical and mental health. We also offer sessions tailored for wheelchair users or those with limited physical abilities.
Sayspace
In Sayspace we encourage group discussion and problem solving through self-advocacy. The group discuss any issues they feel relevant, providing opportunities to advise each other and find solutions. This helps develop a sense of validation, independence and cultivates friendships.
Stagespace
This session gives people a chance to practice their performance skills, whether stand-up, acting, or dance. We use games and different drama techniques to help people express themselves and engage with their emotions.
Teadance
Taking a trip down memory lane our professional musicians play classic songs from a time gone by. Everyone is encouraged to request their favourite classic song while clapping, singing and dancing along. This session is aimed at our older customers but is open to all.
