What is a multi-sensory environment?<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Multi-sensory environments are specialised rooms … “where stimulation can be controlled, manipulated, intensified, reduced, presented in isolation or combination, packaged for active or passive interaction and temporally matched to fit the perceived motivation, interests, leisure, relaxation, therapeutic and\/or educational needs of the user” (Pagliano, 1998). It can take a variety of physical, psychological and sociological forms. The environment is built to fit the needs of the student. Stimulation is fashioned to appeal to the student\u2019s sense abilities.<\/p>\n

Multi-sensory Stimulation<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Stimulation is multi-sensory when it appeals to more than one sense modality. The environment can be controlled and modified according to the needs and wants of the student.<\/p>\n

The soft environment is a room were students can develop vestibular stimulation and proprioceptive stimulation whilst sessions can target relaxation or increase ones level of arousal.<\/p>\n

Multi-sensory rooms for education, stimulation and fun<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n

Multi-sensory studios evolved in the early 1980s. A multi-sensory room is a stimulating multi media environment, specifically designed to encourage people to use and explore their senses – whatever their level of ability.<\/p>\n
