Autism (AUT)
Sensory Equipment for Autism
Sensory equipment for autism can have a profound impact on its users, particularly if they are able to spend regular time in a sensory room. Sensory rooms can help autistic people to self-regulate and filter sensory input.
Experia's range of autism sensory products is carefully designed to reduce anxiety and help to minimise the risk of sensory overload or meltdown. They also encourage key skills, including communication, social integration and emotional development.
What Is Autism?
Autism is a spectrum developmental disability. It affects the way that individuals communicate and relate to others, as well as how they perceive and interact with the world. It isn't a disease or illness, and there isn't a 'cure'; many autistic people see it as a major aspect of how they identify themselves.
For autistic individuals, it is important to find or create coping mechanisms to interact with a world that doesn't always make space for different ways of thinking. That's where sensory equipment for autism comes in!
