We use massage and aromatherapy for pupils and young people to augment their already tailored curriculum. Aromatherapy is carried out by a trained and qualified Aromatherapist. The aim of the Aromatherapist is to develop a trusting and open path of communication with the pupil to enable both to engage in a shared experience. We find that pupils with complex communication needs gain a great deal from this approach. The Aromatherapist is also able to support the pupil’s concentration and attention span; to stimulate or relax the pupil’s limbs and, in some cases, improve the pupil’s general wellbeing
