Proposal to fully utilise the Mechanics Institute (dropped)

Postby Melinda Shelley » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:35 am

For those who aren't aware of Sensory Rooms here is an article about some of the effects they are having on children with disabilities who have accessed one and a link to a youtube clip.

Multi-Sensory room opens for disabled children

The grand opening is still a week off, but small miracles have already occurred at Charlotte’s new Multi-Sensory Environment Room for children with disabilities.

In one case, a 3-year-old girl who had difficulty standing for even 10 seconds – with help from a therapist – surprised the staff by staying balanced for two minutes. Another boy entered with problems holding his head up and left sitting straight in his wheelchair.

All benefited from an unusual facility where sights, sounds and feelings are used to strengthen the brain in disabled children who can be easily overwhelmed by a “sensory traffic jam.”
