A friend of mine built a sensory room for her child about a year ago. I was fascinated by this. Her dedication to her children never ceases to amaze me. She has adopted three children with special needs. She teaches foster care classes and is in the process of getting trained to teach CPR and first aid for mental health. She built her sensory room on a budge, a tight one. Since we are getting ready to discuss sensory integration I thought this would be an appropriate topic to post here. I can't wait to help clients put together one of these. How fun!
