What Is A Multi Sensory Environment? Our senses are important. They tell us about our surroundings and they influence our reactions. In time, they mold our personality and "in a sense" they are what we are. We, therefore, seek to control the things that stimulate our senses. Multi Sensory equipment gives that control. That is why Multi Sensory Environments (Sensory Rooms) are known to produce a wide range of positive results in special populations who often depend on others.

Multi Sensory Environments (MSEs) provide dedicated, flexible spaces where individuals experience a range of non-patterned visual, auditory, olfactory, vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile stimuli. These rooms are designed to create a feeling of comfort and safety where the individual can relax, explore and enjoy their surroundings.

Who Do They Benefit? These rooms benefit people of all ages with autism or other developmental disabilities, dementia, intellectual disabilities, hyperactive, hearing and visually impaired, perception/sensory disorders, disturbed social behavior, and psychiatric patients.
The MSE process can be therapeutic, educational or recreational. All of the processes have universal applications that deliver a broad spectrum of optimal possibilities for enriching quality of life.

Lasting Impressions has partnered with TFH USA Ltd., a leader in the MSE industry. For over 25 years, TFH USA Ltd. has designed and installed MSE equipment for schools, clinics, hospitals, day centers, medical facilities, autism programs, nursing homes and in private homes. Every MSE is tailor made to suit your needs. The goal is to provide a MSE where people of all ages and abilities can benefit in a safe and relaxing environment away from the normal bustle of everyday life; be it for calming or stimulation of the senses.

How Do I Start My MSE? Each Multi Sensory Environment uses specially designed equipment to deliver the right amount of sensory stimulation for each individual using the room. Our equipment is adjustable so you can use the same piece of equipment for stimulating sessions or calming sessions.

To get started with your MSE, we offer a totally free of charge consultation and sensory room design where we will contact you and discuss what you are trying to achieve, how we can help and offer recommendations. Based on this discussion, we will then draw up a scale plan of our proposal and an itemized quotation, including if required, the installation of all the equipment. We also work closely with builders and architects and as sensory rooms need numerous electrical points, we can submit electrical plans for the room as well. However, these plans are not set in concrete and we are happy to keep working with you until you are completely happy. Once you have confirmed you want to proceed we will arrange with you a convenient time for us to come in and install the sensory room. When everything is installed to your satisfaction the sensory room will be ready to go and we will then run through with you and your staff how all the equipment works.

Contact Lasting Impressions today to schedule your free consultation and design for your new Multi Sensory Room. If you currently have a sensory room that needs some improvement, we can help there too. Just give us a call and see how a Multi Sensory Environment can benefit your clients/students and your staff.
