Thanks to the support from The Ian Karten Charitable Trust, clients at Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People’s (QEF) are benefitting from a new sensory room.
QEF’s Care and Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) was officially opened by The Duchess of Edinburgh in 2021 and the fantastic new sensory room at the CRC helps clients with acquired brain, stroke, incomplete spinal injury or neurological illness develop new skills and express their creativity using the interactive technology.
The sensory room is used daily by our Psychology Team who said.
“We love using the sensory room for client groups such as relaxation; the clients can benefit from the use of mood lighting and relaxing sounds to allow them to unwind and practice mindfulness as well as getting away from a sometimes-chaotic timetable. The sensory room can also be beneficial for our clients in prolonged disorders of consciousness, and the use of the interactive floor projector; this allows us and clients to interact with tasks in different ways and can help sessions greatly.”
What a great example of how technology can aid rehabilitation.
