Multisensory environments

Multisensory environments are carefully designed spaces that stimulate multiple senses—such as sight, sound, touch, and sometimes smell or taste—simultaneously. They aim to create calming, engaging, or therapeutic experiences, often used for individuals with sensory processing challenges, autism, or emotional regulation needs. By combining gentle lighting, soothing sounds, textured objects, and calming scents, these environments help individuals relax, focus, or reduce stress. They can be found in therapy centers, hospitals, or educational settings, providing a safe and adaptable space that responds to different sensory preferences and promotes well-being.
