Rosie is a sociable, happy and engaging young lady with a wicked sense of humour! Rosie loves being outdoors and exercising her dog Smudge. She also likes coming to the Leisure and Skills Centre to access activities such as swimming and rebound therapy.

Rosie was born with Rett Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder. For Rosie, this means that she needs 24/7 one to one care and is completely reliant on those who look after her and know her well enough to understand her needs.

Rosie understands a lot of what is happening around her and is incredibly good at communicating her needs in her own unique way through vocalisations, facial expressions and eye movements such as blinking to say yes and no.
Rosie has been attending the LSC for six years. Her Mum, Becky explains that it is the variety of activities that Rosie has access to at the LSC that makes such a difference, as she gets to access things she can’t access anywhere else under one roof including the gym, spa, swimming, rebound therapy and the sensory room.

Rosie’s art teacher Laura agrees, “Rosie really enjoys the social aspect of coming to art class and being with other young people. She loves the sensory aspect of using her hands and feet and just loves to get messy!”
