A World Experience Room in the general sense of the word is a special room equipped with various devices stimulating the development of the senses. The main aim of organising such rooms is to create opportunities to perceive new stimuli, to enrich experiences and to spend time in a relaxed and accepting atmosphere for people with multiple disabilities. The therapy in the World Experience Room is individually tailored to the needs of the child. In such a room, the child is free to choose the stimuli he or she needs most at any given time. Learning takes place through the senses, so that the information provided to the nervous system has a very positive effect on memory, concentration, learning and, above all, the desire to be active.
The World Experience Room is a place for children with varying degrees of intellectual disability and for children who have difficulty integrating external stimuli, concentrating attention and calming down. It is equipped with various types of equipment to stimulate the development of all the senses. The room contains, among other things, a water bed, a light and sound set, a water column, a light curtain and numerous boards with different types of structures. The main aim of therapy in the World Experience Room is to enable the child to explore and perceive new stimuli and to enrich sensory and sensory experiences.
