Rhino Sensory UK’s latest news and company updates
Halloween & Bonfire Night is an exciting time for lots of children, but it can prove challenging for children with Autism. Therefore preparation and planning can help to make it less stressful. Here are some ideas to help you and your child enjoy this time of year.
For most people having a bath is an enjoyable and calming experience, however for some who have disabilities, including physical, learning and behavioural the whole bath time experience can be quite the opposite and prove very stressful.
Hospitals can be a very overwhelming environment and sometimes can feel very bleak and clinical. Therefore have you thought about incorporating more sensory equipment into your hospital? Sensory resources can make such a positive impact on the patients, workers and visitors making it a more pleasurable place to be.
Some people believe when we talk about sensory equipment that you need a full spare room or a large space to build a multi-sensory room, but this is not necessarily true. You can create a sensory environment in a corner of a room, in a waiting room, such as a wall of a corridor or use portable sensory equipment which can be used across multiple rooms and hospital departments.
Rhino Sensory UK work with hospitals all over the UK to create these sensory environments and therefore wanted to give you a little bit of inspiration on what can be achieved:
Sean Whiting, Director of specialist equestrian store Houghton Country, shares his insight into the benefits of horse riding and how it can be a good hobby for children with autism.
If your child has autism it's a good idea to start finding them a fun hobby that can soothe them as well as teach them valuable life skills, preparing them for their future.
There are a number of equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) in the UK that could help children on the autism spectrum cope better with a number of problems, such as social and communication difficulties, hyperactivity, and sensory processing issues, according to Research Autism. Below are just some of the ways horse riding can benefit a child with autism.
Rhino UK is fab, they have been very supportive and helped us create beautiful interactive sensory rooms.

Thank you for completing the installation of our new sensory room at Hillcrest, Northern Counties School, Jesmond, Newcastle. We are over the moon with the room and the service you have provided from start to finish has been second to none. We would like to add some further features at a later date when we get some more money and we will definitely be coming back to Rhino. A very big thank you!!
Christine Robson – Occupational Therapist
Hillcrest, Northern Counties School, Jesmond, Newcastle
We have had our sensory room two years now and it’s as good as new. It is used every day by the children who attend our Play and Development Centre. It’s so versatile, we use it for quiet sensory sessions and for more energetic rough and tumble play. The children really love it and each benefit from the room in their own individual way. The after sales service has been second to none and quality of the product meets fully with our strict infection control policies. A big thank you once again to all at Rhino UK.
S Harper – Hospital Play Services Co-Ordinator

Thank you to Rhino for the excellent service you have provided. The Sensory Room is brilliant and provides a variety of sensory experiences. I have received some excellent feedback from other staff, professionals, children and parents. The installation was stress free and very professional; all equipment is of a high quality. I would recommend you to other Children’s Centres and other services for the quality of work and experience.

The sensory equipment has transformed a small, unused room, into a fantastic space for children and parents to relax and spend quality time together. Rhino UK were extremely efficient and helped us plan the appropriate resources needed for the room.
