Learn about senses

The five senses interact with the brain to help us understand and perceive our world. A minimum of one individual may encounter difficulties with any one or several of these senses, which may leave them unable to receive and lay information at usually equivalent. Our sensory room and products are designed to suit the needs of all, as they can compensate for an assortment of physical conditions.

  • Sight – Sight is our visual perception. It is how our brains process, interpret, and make sense of what we see. It is our abilities to focus and detect images. We supply many products that can enhance or subdue this sense.
  • Sound – You can communicate with others by hearing sounds. Your brain processes these noises and can determine where they are coming from. Good products exist that effectively stimulate this function.
  • Smell – Smell is closely linked to parts of the brain that process emotion and memory; odours can also alert people to potential hazards and affect taste. We sell lots of products that are best suited to activate or calm this particular sense.
  • Taste – Food and drink molecules bind with our taste buds, sending signals to the brain which can help us process flavours: salty, bitter, umami, sweet and sour tasting food.
    Unfortunately we don’t currently stock any products that appropriately address this sense, but our buying team is actively looking for products to help with the sense of taste.
  • Touch – Pressure, temperature, light touch, vibration, and other sensations are all part of the touch sense and are each attributed to different receptors in the peripheral nervous system. We have many different products that are well suited to trigger or calm this sense.
  • Balance – Located in the inner ear, the vestibular system helps balance out your spatial orientation and movement by providing information about body and head motions. This information can be used to regulate motor skills and concentration levels, which in turn can have an effect on vision, hearing, and balance.
  • Body Awareness – Perceptual processing by sensory receptors enables you to know where your body is even when you can’t see it. Knowing your body’s location allows automatic adjustments to take place in a number of circumstances, including when sitting or walking across uneven surfaces.

Individuals who are less sensitive to stimulation have a higher threshold and are better able to process higher amounts of detail and stimulation.

Sensory avoiders are those who are sensitive to certain stimuli. In specific instances, this can become an overwhelming situation for them.

We use the term activating to describe the goal of a product to stimulate a specific sense. While developing refers to a product intended to improve a person’s ability to manage their behavior in reaction to external stimuli.
