Sinnissippi Centers’ Rochelle office now has a sensory room that can be used for clients of all ages. Sensory rooms are spaces that have been specifically designed to give an immersive sensory experience for people with a variety of needs. The size and features of a sensory space will differ depending on the user and their needs. The main benefit of sensory rooms is that they are a humane and effective way for individuals to manage their stress levels and negative thoughts and emotions.
A sensory room typically uses lights, sound, colors, and other sensory cues to calm, engage, and help users to develop emotionally and cognitively. They are designed to help users engage with their senses, touch, sight, hearing, and reap the benefits of sensory stimulation in a safe and relaxed environment, regardless of their age or ability.
