Parish Sensory Room

Child using sensory ball

"Drew's fellow scouts and his parents assisted in painting the room a soft blue color and a corner of  magnetic paint. Drew selected round wooden boards to adhere items to for easier placement on the walls. Jesus and his companions magnets were added to the board. Coat hooks have various pieces of ribbon and material for people to twirl. The room has one short pew and two rocking chairs as this motion aids in calming. Another family that has a daughter with autism asked for a kneeler in the room so they could use the room to prepare her for the rhythm of Mass and to help her with this gesture."

- Sharon Urbaniak, Western New York Catholic.
