Sensory stimulation is important to us all.

Those of us who are classed as 'able', constantly move around and adjust to our surroundings, creating chemical and electrical signals which are sent to our brain where they are put into context so that we can understand them, learn from them and adapt.

 

'.....every waking moment we are bombarded with sights, sounds, and smells as we touch, run, climb, and speak our way through life,' Professor Susan Greenfield

 

Many of those for whom the sensory environments were originally designed need to have these signals created in a controllable situation.

Whilst they benefit from the many forms of stimulation, it is by careful observation and assessment that you can only determine if there has been change.

Change is what we are after.

 

Change, no matter how small, is important. It gives us information and knowledge of the child or person we are with
