Dark Rooms

Sensory dark rooms are also sometimes referred to as UV rooms or UV blacklight rooms. For users with visual impairments, who would ordinarily not experience much visual stimulation, a dark sensory room provides an exciting, novel experience as the products in the room glow spectacularly under UV light. 

Dark rooms can be extremely useful for undertaking visual assessments and helping occupational therapists to understand the extent of a user's visual ability. From there, they can then be used to develop visual processing, tracking skills and hand-eye co-ordination. The increased level of reward can really encourage users to learn and interact.
