Merthyr couple hope new room will stop A&E fear for ALN families

Advertisements

The parents of an autistic boy say they hope a new immersive room in their local hospital’s children’s A&E will stop other families like theirs feeling afraid to attend.

Robert and Gemma Cummings spent the past year fundraising to open the room, after spending many years visiting A&E, which was “really challenging” as Ellis, their autistic son, is non-verbal.

It is the first of its kind in Wales, and is located at the pediatric department of Prince Charles Hospital in their hometown of Merthyr Tydfil.

They say they are “forever grateful” for the support they’ve recieved as they strived to create the space for children woith additional learning needs (ALN).
