Tuesday morning starts with SONAS session in the dining room...

'Sonas aPc was devised by Sister Mary Threadgold, a speech and language therapist in Dublin.

Sonas is Gaelic for 'well-being' and aPc represents 'activating potential for communication'. The

multisensory packaged programme on audio tape uses music, singing, touch, smell and taste to

promote interaction and a sense of well-being amongst participants.'


This was followed by the weekly 'keep fit' class run by Sue who is specially trained in this area.  She reported

"A cheerful, enthusiastic group !"
