Dedicated Sensory Spaces
Designed for comfort and connection, our sensory rooms provide a peaceful space for individuals to recharge and participate fully in faith and community life.
What is a Sensory Room?
A sensory room is a calming, supportive space designed to help individuals with autism or sensory sensitivities regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, and rejoin activities feeling refreshed and confident.
Each room is equipped with sensory tools—like weighted blankets, fidget toys, calming lights, and sound machines—to create an environment that promotes relaxation, focus, and positive interaction. These spaces are vital for helping participants feel safe, included, and empowered.
Why Sensory Rooms Matter
Sensory rooms aren’t just quiet spaces—they’re connection spaces. They give children and adults a place to decompress, find calm, and build the confidence to participate fully in faith and community life.
By providing the right tools and environment, we remove barriers to inclusion and help everyone feel truly welcome.
