AIM sensory room supports learners with Down syndrome in Saskatoon
--:--
Meghan Badun, an occupational therapist and clinical director at AIM Saskatoon, said when thinking about senses, people often refer to sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. But three more senses are used therapeutically.
“One is the vestibular sense, (like) spinning or moving, one is proprioceptive where your body is in space, and one is interoceptive, so what does your body feel like inside,” Badun explained.
Today, learners at the Saskatoon-based nonprofit for children and young adults with Down syndrome have access to a tailor-made sensory room to explore these sensations.
