My sister in law has arranged a charity sky dive that we are both taking part in to raise fund for equipment for a local sensory room.

We both have children that have ASD so know the benefit a sensory room can bring to anyone with sensory needs.

A sensory room is a special room designed to develop a person's sense, usually through special lighting, music, and objects. It can be used as a therapy for children with limited communication skills.

“Sensory Room” is an umbrella term used to categorize a broad variety of therapeutic spaces specifically designed and utilized to promote self-organization and positive change. There are multiple types of sensory rooms and purposes for use that have been created and implemented in different practice areas to date. When used appropriately, sensory rooms:

Help to create a safe space,
Facilitate the therapeutic alliance,
Provide opportunities for engagement in prevention and crisis de-escalation strategies, as well as a host of other therapeutic exchanges (to teach skills, offer a variety of therapeutic activities, etc.)
Promote self-care/self-nurturance, resilience & recovery
Multi-sensory equipment is a vital and effective part in the treatment of sensory disorders with children and adults alike.

Sensory equipment can help develop key life skills including vocalization, gross motor skills, color recognition and tracking. Examples include sensory rooms, sensory pools, sensory bathrooms and sensory gardens.

We are looking to raise £1000, we are hoping with your help we can achieve this, it doesn't matter how small of a donation you can provide it will go a long way.
