Thank you and the staff once again for another wonderful day at Avon Tyrrell. As well as a diagnosis of Autism, my daughter has a Sensory Processing Disorder and any physical activity is really beneficial for not only her physical but also her mental well-being. She has gone on to access further activities as well as showing she has an aptitude for climbing and archery
