Every day, we experience a huge range of sensory input from our environment - what we hear, feel, touch, taste, smell, the movements we experience and the positions our bodies move into - all contribute to our sensory experience.  All these sensations are processed through our central nervous system, and allow us to respond and react to these different stimuli.

Some people have a hard time processing one or more of these senses, and can experience the world as a rather unpleasant place! Too loud, too bright, too scratchy etc. Sensory Rooms, or Snoezelen or Multi-Sensory rooms, are a relaxed place where many of these elements can be controlled, making them more enjoyable to be in. Soothing sounds and lighting, pleasant aromas, tactile objects, massage, vibration and gentle movement can be adjusted as needed. A major benefit is that a person who is relaxed and comfortable is much more able to interact, engage, communicate and learn.
