Sensory Rooms are like a playground for the mind, letting you relax and unwind. More and more you are seeing schools, hospitals, and more finding ways to use sensory rooms to help individuals.
There are no requirements for someone to need to use a sensory room. These spaces are great for children and adults to find a time to relax and unwind.
There are lots of different sensory rooms and spaces that meet different needs. Our Clark Family Sensory Space has served children and individuals with disabilities in the Erie County area. Our space is great for anyone with any needs, some including anxiety, PTSD, dementia, SPD, and physical or intellectual disabilities.
Why might YOU benefit from a sensory space?
The reason you can benefit from a sensory space depends on your needs. Our space can be modified to fit your needs, whether that is providing a quite calm atmosphere or stimulating the mind and senses.
Everyone needs a break from a long day. We have many different comfy chairs, couches, and lounging areas to relax in while you take in the colors around you. You can just sit and relax or interact with the equipment in the room. Our room is surrounded by various LED lighting, and we can pick lights, minimal lights, or no lights for your visit.
Sometimes people need to find stimulating activities, and we have a large variety of things to do in our space. You can play games on light boards on our walls, or play music that interacts through the room's lights. We even have an interactive projector on our floor that you can do things like play pool or interact with a koi pond.
