There are many sensory products that we love, especially as we see our Sensurround users positively impact from them with interaction, concentration, and giving them something fun to do. From our suppliers listed in our Supplier Directory, we’ve selected one item from each that we think you’ll love too.

There are 6 different light modes to choose from. It helps you to relax while you have a nice soak in the bath. It’s suitable for the whole family which is also great, especially as it’s now only £5 to purchase.

This is how it looks in one of our sensory rooms
This mirror ball gives the room a real party feel. It rotates and projects a selection of disco-like spots around the room from the colour wheel. We have one of these in both of our sensory rooms and our service users love them. Search product code 07005 in their catalogue or visit their website for more information.

The Hi-Lo is fantastic for helping children to relax and sleep. Due to its versatile and soft material, children with autism, epilepsy and other challenging behaviours can benefit from this product.
