The difference the Giggle Doctors made for Leo

’I recently took Leo to the hospital for an appointment. Leo is autistic and has severe learning disabilities. He has very limited communication skills but I could see that he was quite scared being in the hospital.

Whilst we were in the waiting room, Dr Snug came in. She went around and interacted with each of the children individually. Obviously she could not stay too long with each child but it was still a lovely moment. She came over us, blew a giraffe balloon and gave it to Leo. Leo was absolutely delighted. I could see how fascinated he was with what she was wearing and he loved his balloon.  It was also very nice because she was discreet and quiet to make sure she would not frighten or upset any of the children. It really lifted Leo’s mood so I can only imagine all the good it can do for children staying longer in hospital. ‘’
