Abilitations MultiSensory Featuring SpaceKraft Environments - submitted by Laura Harris
While recognizing that multi-sensory rooms can help patients relax and feel calm, **SpaceKraft's** philosophy has always been to use its technology and experience to create unique interactive environments which encourage communication and help clients develop to their maximum potential. One of the best ways for a person with special needs to get the best out of their environment - and to communicate with 'the outside world' - is through stimulation. Experience has shown that only by interacting with their environment can patients achieve maximum learning, pleasure and development. Whether a dedicated activity room, sensory garden, interactive swimming pool or just a small area in the corner of a classroom, the basic premise behind every **SpaceKraft** system is development through communication.
