What is a sensory room?

A room may contain some or all of the following: lights | fibre optics | bubble tubes | sound equipment | vibrating equipment | visual effects projected onto the wall. Developing sessions in a sensory room is about imagination and your relationship with the person you are supporting.
 

Why is a sensory room useful?


Relaxation: soft music, soft lighting, no pressure. Choice/Control: show preferences – operate switches. Communication: through body language, turn taking. Movement: the freedom to move safely. A sensory room can be a place where Intensive Interaction takes place. You are the most important piece of equipment.
