Sensory Room

A sensory room is a specially designed space that provides a variety of sensory experiences to help individuals, particularly those with sensory processing disorders, autism, or other developmental differences, regulate their sensory input. These rooms are equipped with various tools and activities that engage the senses of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Common features may include soft lighting, calming sounds, tactile materials, visual projections, swings, and interactive equipment. The purpose of a sensory room is to create a soothing environment where individuals can relax, explore, and enhance their sensory awareness, promoting emotional regulation and improving focus and social interaction. Sensory rooms can be found in schools, therapy centers, hospitals, and homes, tailored to meet the specific needs of the users.
