The Sensory-Space was developed in answer to the need for a safe, fun and engaging environment that is beneficial to the children who attend school, therapy, sporting or creative classes at the Children's Memorial Institute. The Institute houses nearly 30 NGOs who offer services and therapeutic interventions in areas spanning child protection, child diversity, child rights and empowerment.
Environments that help children to explore their sensory systems have a remarkable impact on a child's sense of wellbeing and ability to engage positively with their world. This is especially relevant to children who are struggling with physical, mental, learning or social disabilities or difficulties. However, all children benefit from environments that help them to integrate and enhance their sensory abilities.
