Sensory Room
The equipment within our sensory room environment is designed to create a stimulating environment for young children to explore using their senses. The range of atmospheres can vary from calm to stimulating, dark to light, quiet to exploring using sound, slow to fast responses.
The room is equipped with a bubble tube, special lighting with a projector to cast slow-moving images or colors around the walls and a soft cushion with fibre optic sprays. The fanlite, LED touch screen and interactive projector all demonstrate cause and effect providing a safe experience without the need for verbal abilities or requiring specific outcomes. The focus is to encourage the child to explore and gain confidence from the sensory activity. We therefore have equipment to provide visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic and olfactory stimulation.
The equipment is also used during the Sing and Sign Sessions. The galaxy projector is used to enhance the songs “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and the bubble tube is used for the “Rainbow” song. Most of the equipment is easy to use and responds at the flick of a switch.
