Benefits
Interactive sensory equipment and rooms provide a sensory motor workout that has the potential of awakening muscles and encouraging movement. Those with physical challenges can reap the benefits of a sensory room experience. Interactive crawling tunnels, balance beams, touch panels and bubble tubes all encourage reaching, crawling and movement throughout the room.
By using the right frequencies and visual stimulation combined with aromatherapy, individuals with balance or motor challenges can move their way through a select environment designed to meet their particular needs. For those with severe physical disabilities, a sensory pool is one of the few places where they feel free of supporting equipment and devices, and floating in warm water is enjoyable and liberating. The buoyancy of the water helps to support body weight, which can relieve pressure on joints, reduce pain and increase movement.
