Sensory rooms serve individuals with developmental disabilities, sensory impairments, and learning difficulties. The sensory room provides a safe environment that helps build confidence in individuals who are frequently overstimulated. In the process, they learn to engage with sensory stimuli at their own speed, and their caretaker or teacher can better understand what stimuli is soothing or overwhelming for them. The sensory room helps people with sensory processing disorders learn how to interact with the world around them. Professionals are increasingly finding a connection between brain activity and physical movements such as rocking, bouncing, and fidgeting--not only for individuals with impairments but for everyone.
