A sensory room is a special room designed to develop a person's sense, usually through special lighting, music, and objects. It can be used as a therapy for children with limited communication skills.

“Sensory Room” is an umbrella term used to categorize a broad variety of therapeutic spaces specifically designed and utilized to promote self-organization and positive change. There are multiple types of sensory rooms and purposes for use that have been created and implemented in different practice areas to date. When used appropriately, sensory rooms:

  • Help to create a safe space
  • Facilitate the therapeutic alliance
  • Provide opportunities for engagement in prevention and crisis de-escalation strategies, as well as a host of other therapeutic exchanges (to teach skills, offer a variety of therapeutic activities, etc.)
  • Promote self-care/self-nurturance, resilience & recovery

Multi-sensory equipment is a vital and effective part in the treatment of sensory disorders with children and adults alike.

Sensory equipment can help develop key life skills including vocalization, gross motor skills, color recognition and tracking. Examples include sensory rooms, sensory pools, sensory bathrooms and sensory gardens.

They are also sometimes called "multi sensory room", "white room", or "quiet room".

This is the space for the team to contribute as a whole for editing the Sensory Room Wiki Page.


FOR THE GROUP: These are the requirements for this week. We can remove them before Sunday: This week you will be drafting your edits to the Wikipedia topic of your choice. By the end of the week, you should have a completed draft available on your Sandbox that you can send to me. To help keep you on track, the things I am looking for in your final article are:

1. A clear introduction/lead that summarizes the whole article

2. Organized headers/subheaders

3. At least 20 new references for Wiki groups/At least 5 for people working on their own

4. Content that is created is relevant to the topic and helps flesh out the article

If you do not finish all of these items for the draft - that is okay! Finish as much as you can so you can receive helpful feedback from your peers.
