A sensory room is a relaxing space with furniture, toys, gadgets and more to meet people’s unique sensory needs. Sensory rooms can be an educational or development space for children or cognitively disabled people. They can soothe an autistic person experiencing a meltdown. Or they can be a secure place for a person with trauma to relieve a flashback.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are only examples \u2014 the room is open to anyone who would find it supportive. No matter the need, the sensory room is a safe space for emotional regulation and sensory stimulation.<\/p>\n

Anyone! We especially invite autistic people, disabled people, those with mental illness and parents and their young children to use the room.<\/p>\n
