Sensory Room

[Albrighton]

Just to provide an update for those with under 5s, some bad news and some good news.

Bad news is that Music and Movement on a Saturday at albrighton Centre is no more - the sessions will not be returning now that the Summer holidays are over.

The good news is that in its place we will have a Sensory Room from 9.30am to 11.00am each Saturday morning instead. The Sensory Room provides sensory stimulation through lighting and visuals, textures, sounds and smells.

Cushioned flooring and bean bags will create a comfortable and relaxing environment, while the room is lit by an array of lasers and projections, its walls and swimming with images to capture the imagination.

Light boxes and fibre optics with heighten visual awareness. Tactile toys will provide opportunities to experience contrasting textures. A range of aromas will encourage reminiscence and evoke memories past.

Some children will find the sensory room tranquil and calming whilst others feel their senses being overloaded, whichever it is the sensory room provides a safe environment into which to escape.

Sessions in the Sensory Room are available only through referral by South Camberwell Children?s Centre, or via your Health Advisor if you have access to one. 30 minute sessions are available by appointment (booked with reception at Albrighton Centre). Drop in sessions may also be available, but we would advise booking to avoid disappointment, or a short wait.

If you have any questions at all - please give us a call at the centre.

Cheers
