The room will aim to maximize a person’s potential to focus and then initiate and react in a meaningful, productive way to situations, things, and people in their environment. A multi-sensory environment can be instrumental in changing behavior, increasing focus and attention and adding to the feelings of positive self-esteem and well-being, but most of all it will be an oasis of calm and a safe place to have fun.
