Learning SPACE

Learning SPACE is an award-winning organisation providing fun inspiring toys, sensory and specialised resources for all needs and interests. Learning SPACE was set up in 2007 by sisters Lorraine (a teacher who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 38) and Mary (a social worker). They felt parents, teachers, therapists and especially children deserved better when it came to accessing resources and sharing of knowledge, hence Learning SPACE was born. A third sister Naomh, joined in 2015 making this a real family business. The main spark came from supporting their amazing sister Emma who has Soto Syndrome.
