Leitrim County Council has installed a sensory room for children with special needs in its library in Mohill. This will provide educational and therapeutic supports for these children in a fun environment.
It is envisaged that when it is open the room will be booked in advance by parents and carers of children with special needs who will accompany them and assist them when using the equipment. There will be no charge for the use of the facilities.

RainChild has developed a 3 day water based summer camp for students with Autism in the area, thanks to funding of €5,000 from AIB Ballinamore. The funding, awarded under the 2010 AIB Better Ireland Programme, has allowed the children involved with the group to develop their life skills, communication skills and build self-confidence.
It also provided the children with the opportunity to socialise with their peers in a fun, supervised environment as they try new activities such as water sports and swimming.
