Sensory Room

A sensory room is a specially designed environment that stimulates the senses to promote relaxation, engagement, and therapeutic benefits for individuals of all ages, particularly those with sensory processing issues or developmental disabilities. Typically, a sensory room includes various features and equipment to engage the senses:

Lighting: Adjustable lighting, including dimmable and colored lights, to create different atmospheres and moods. Some rooms may also incorporate interactive lighting effects.

Sound: Sound systems that provide calming music, nature sounds, white noise, or customizable auditory experiences. Soundproofing may be included to minimize external distractions.

Textures: Soft surfaces, tactile panels, textured walls, and fabric materials that offer tactile stimulation and opportunities for touch exploration.

Visual Stimulation: Visual displays such as bubble tubes, fiber optic lights, projectors with moving images, and interactive LED panels to provide visual stimulation and promote focus and engagement.

Movement: Swings, hammocks, rocking chairs, balance boards, and other equipment that encourage movement and vestibular stimulation.

Aromatherapy: Scent diffusers or essential oil dispensers to introduce calming or invigorating aromas into the environment, depending on individual preferences.

Safety Features: Soft padding, crash mats, and other safety measures to ensure a safe environment for users to explore and interact with the sensory room equipment.
