Sensory Room Campaign
You can make a difference to transforming this space into a dream sensory room for the over 80 learners who use it monthly! This space is used on a regular basis by children and youth with autism ages 2 to 17 years from Woodview programs. The sensory room plays a key role in supporting their development and provides a safe and therapeutic environment for them to explore and engage with their senses. Over time, it has experienced wear and tear, and it is in desperate need of upgrades.
Benefits of Sensory Equipment for Autistic Kids
We consulted with our autism specialists and here is what they identified as the wish list of equipment for the ages and developmental needs of the children and youth that we serve at 69 Flatt Road in Burlington:
- Abstract Tactile Panel: To offer tactile stimulation and engagement.
- Tear Drop Swing: To provide a soothing experience with a gentle, repetitive swaying motion.
- Calming Sensory Kit: To help children self-regulate with a variety of sensory tools.
- Laser Stars Projector: To create an engaging, calming visual experience.
- Squish Chair: To provide tactile (touch) input and comfort.
- Mirror Ball: To stimulate visual tracking and engagement.
- Thera-Band Wobble Board: To support balance and motor skills development.
- Large Soft Rocker: To offer a comfortable, calming seating option.
