Why a Multi-Sensory Room?
Research shows how rooms full of lights, textures, sounds and smells can relax people with severe intellectual disability. It has also proven to reduce aggression as well. These rooms are designed to isolate the user from any distractions, and focus their attention on a wide range of sensory “experiences”. Repeated exposure to these experiences can help to ground and generate responses from those who otherwise have difficulty in any of the sensory areas.
