My Project

Our nervous systems receive and perceive sensory input through sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, movement and balance, body position, and muscle control. The ability to adaptively and purposefully respond to this input is called “sensory integration” or “sensory processing.”

A sensory room is a therapeutic space with a variety of equipment that provides special needs students with personalized sensory input and helps students stay calm and focus.

There are many benefits of a sensory room for those who have learning difficulties, developmental disabilities or sensory processing impairments. By helping them learn to interact with the world around them in a safe environment, we can build up their confidence and their ability to achieve success.

There are a whole host of benefits of a sensory room for those who require them. Some of these include: sensory stimulation, enhance learning through play, improve balance, movement and spatial orientation, develop communication skills, de-stress, improve focus, and promote socialization. I am requesting sensory lighting to create a therapeutic space to help calm and focus my students so they can be better prepared for learning and interacting with others.
