Imagine having a sensory room right in the comfort of your own home!
Well, this happened for one individual that lives in Foxglove Care 😁
Sensory rooms help reduce anxiety, improve focus and enhance learning. Soothing lights, gentle sounds and tactile activities all work to empower individuals to explore, discover and thrive in their own unique ways.
Here’s K story…….
Meet K, a young man with autism who often displayed behaviours of concern due to sensory overload. His support staff were determined to help him find a way to manage these challenges. Together, they decided to create a sensory room in his home.
The team worked closely with K to understand his sensory preferences and needs. They filled the room with soft lighting, calming music and a variety of tactile activities. The sensory room quickly became K’s safe haven. Whenever he feels overwhelmed, he retreats to this space to relax and decompress.
Overtime, K’s behaviour’s of concern significantly decreased. He began to feel more in control of his environment and emotions. The sensory room not only provided him with a calming space but also became a place where he could explore and engage with different sensory experiences. His support staff noticed a remarkable improvement in his overall wellbeing and happiness.
At Foxglove it’s this care and attention to detail and innovative thinking that we pride ourselves on!
