Our Vibrant Sensory Rooms in Manchester for Children and Adults
Here at Redbank House, part of Disabled Living, we have two sensory rooms. They’re very exciting as colours flash through the fibre-optic strands along the floor, streams of blue and green simultaneously twinkle through the bubble tubes on either side of the room. The disco ball sparkles as our classical chill out music plays in the background.
Information about our sensory rooms in Manchester
Playing in the mirrors creating their very own personal party space with pop music or lying on the water beds or our users can rest and dream away to the sounds of classical music! This experience is all part of a therapy designed for children and adults with disabilities and is available at Redbank House. Groups can enjoy and explore their environment together as well as individual sessions. So the private environment helps them to develop their own sensory needs.
Benefits of a multi-sensory environment
All children and adults with disabilities can benefit from using a sensory room. These environments have proven to be extremely valuable to those with disabilities. Some evidence suggests that those with challenging behaviour can improve and may be reduced over a long term period. There are many other benefits which include:
- Increased concentration and focus attention
- Chance to develop or reactivate senses

- Increase cognitive development through enhanced brain function
- Lead participants to explore their environment
- Provides a secure and safe environment
- Develop of a sense of cause and effect
- Develop language – more vocalisation

- Result in more calmness and lower aggressive behaviours
- Increase opportunity for choice and self-determination
- Lead to non-responsive patients to start to communicate
- MOST IMPORTANTLY – TO HAVE FUN & ENJOY THEMSELVES
