WSCC Family Hubs Sensory Rooms

About

This is a West Sussex County Council service.

Sensory rooms provide an environment which focuses on particular senses such as touch, vision and sound. They offer huge benefits to a wide range of users regardless of their age or ability and are available in some Early Help Family Hubs. Certain Hubs also have a Magic Carpet. This is an interactive sensory projection system with games, music and social activities to engage and motivate all ages. The images and games are projected onto a special carpet. For more information, go to the website.

My 5 year old son with autism absolutely loved it and was immediately at ease and relaxed. It was wonderful to see him so engaged in play.
