Sensory Room
Our sensory room helps those who have learning difficulties, developmental disabilities or sensory impairments learn to interact with the world around them in a safe environment that builds their confidence and their ability.
Your young person will enjoy a safe space where they can explore at their own pace, in a sensory area where the therapist will see what calms them, rouses them and what they do or don’t like.

Sensory stimulation

Encouraging the user to engage with and explore the environment can have positive effects on their ability to understand, react and interact with the larger world around them.
Enhance learning through play

Sensory rooms for young people should be designed with fun in mind. Sensory play helps develop their senses, encourages problem solving and builds nerve connections in the brain. Sensory stimulation also engages different areas of the brain, helping children absorb and retain more information.
Improve balance, movement and spatial orientation

Sensory rooms can help develop users’ visual processing abilities as well as their fine and gross motor skills, facilitating day-to-day living. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with physical difficulties.
Develop communication skills

Sensory environments can be engaging, providing a moment of comfort and calm for overactive and distressed young people. Similarly, the safe and controlled nature of a sensory room can help withdrawn individuals feel calm enough to interact with their surroundings.
