Using the MSTE

A session in a multi-sensory therapeutic environment involves offering a person an opportunity to enter a soothing and stimulating environment. These rooms are specially designed to deliver stimuli to various senses using lighting intensity, simulated movement, colour, acoustics, vibrosonic feedback, music, scents, etc.

Different equipment on a wall combined with materials on the floor may be explored using tactile senses and offer sensory feedback. An advantage of the therapeutic experience is that it does not rely on verbal communication. At Bellavista School, it would be the work of a trained practitioner to use such a room.
