This week I spent time organizing my new page of things that can be bought or made for the sensory room that have been successful and popular in other sensory rooms. I also read more articles and research papers about which sensory features and activities are best for relaxation and calming purposes, versus educational or occupational therapy purposes. I think it is important for this sensory room to focus on the former purpose, as it is supposed to be helpful for the patients at the dental office, and is not in a school or therapy setting, which is why I wanted to understand better the different aspects and purposes/functions of the different sensory items to know what is most important to include in this one.
