From the UC Clermont Website:
The pioneering space — four years in the making — is the first fully renovated sensory room among higher education institutions in the United States. It offers an inclusive space for both neurodiverse and neurotypical students to find peace and regulation between classes.
“While other universities have made commendable efforts by retrofitting sensory spaces into existing facilities, our commitment to creating an optimal environment for sensory support and relaxation goes above and beyond,” said Meghann Littrell, director of accessibility resources at the UC regional campuses. “The overarching goal of these spaces is to foster well-being, relaxation, and sensory enrichment. These are fundamental needs that can benefit people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.”
In both rooms, every element has been meticulously selected to serve a specific purpose, Littrell said. The sensory and meditation rooms feature fabric walls coated with soft, soothing colors to promote a grounding effect; diverse seating options; and dimmable, color-changing lights that offer flexible atmospheres to meet individual needs. A centerpiece interactive touchscreen display, weighted blankets, putty and fidget toys offer additional sensory stimulation to aid in focus and calm.
