Inside the Sensory Room
With calming gradient lights, soft motions and etheric music we create an environment of controlled stimulations. Our Sensory Room has the perfect atmosphere for sensory decompression and is utilized before our individuals engage in other environments.
Sensory Equipment
To meet the fluctuating sensory needs of an individual with autism, a proper sensory diet is often prescribed. This involves the use of sensory equipment that provides a balance of sensory input at levels controlled by the person who is on the autism spectrum.
