Our forthcoming sensory room will be a specially designed space that provides a range of sensory experiences to help individuals, particularly those with sensory processing challenges. It will allow individuals to relax, focus, and engage their senses in a controlled environment, reducing and managing stress, supporting reflective learning, and increasing attention and focus.
