Special Haven is a Non-Profit Corporation which will provide a multi-sensory environment for the benefit and development of children and adults with Special Needs. Multi-Sensory environments have been shown to help individuals with autism, brain injury, challenging behaviors, dementia, developmental disabilities, mental illness, palliative care, pre and post-surgery, PTSD and special education, some apparatus will have vibrational effects to include children and adults with hearing impairment and, of course, wellness.
The room will aim to maximize a person’s potential to focus and then initiate and react in a meaningful, productive way to situations, things, and people in their environment. A multi-sensory environment can be instrumental in changing behavior, increasing focus and attention and adding to the feelings of positive self-esteem and well-being, but most of all it will be an oasis of calm and a safe place to have fun.
I have a friend that has a young son who was just diagnosed with ADHD, Aspergers and Anxiety disorder. We need doctor's names, advocates, support groups and caring advise to pass on to this mother. Please write and give your suggestions.
