• Activities are appropriately differentiated to meet each young person’s needs, sessions are structured giving a sense of security, and staff communicate using simple language reinforced with alternative and augmentative communication, visual clues and sign language.

Hipp!!Bones supports and empowers young people who are disabled to live the life they choose and achieve their full potential. We understand how difficult the journey can be to find the right provision to meet the needs of young people with special educational needs and disabilities, which is why Hipp!!Bones is hugely important to its members and the community it serves. The club enables these young people to meet in a safe environment, where they can meet with friends outside school, socialise and form new friendships, and acquire the skills necessary to become more independent as they move into adulthood.
