Sensory wall officially opened

The opening of a new sensory panel wall for high-needs students at Maitai School is something you would not find anywhere else in the world, says its principal.

Diane Whyte welcomed representatives from across the special education community yesterday to officially open the wall, which caters to the Nelson school's 30 high needs students.

"We have done our research and we couldn't find anything like this anywhere else, it really is very experimental but we hope that it will take off."
