Understanding how to create a sensory room is an essential skill for schools and parents of children with autism. Sensory rooms, or multi-sensory rooms, offer a safe space where these children can explore their senses in a controlled environment. These specialised areas provide the necessary sensory input that helps manage stress levels and improve focus.

A sensory diet is a tool that Occupational Therapists can use to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other special needs. A sensory diet consists of various activities and objects that provide different sensations to the child.
