The outside world can be a challenging and stressful place where adults and children with sensory-processing conditions don’t always feel in control. Sensory rooms like the one at the Corning Family YMCA were designed to promote calm and offer a space to reset.
Our room has many benefits, including:
- Providing participants with personalized sensory input to help them calm and focus themselves to better interact with others.
- Being a place to reduce tension and agitation while promoting individualized learning.
- Specifically designed elements utilized for soothing sensory stimulation.
- Promoting relaxation and positive change.
- Giving children and caregivers a space to bond and form strong relationships.
