THE ORANGE SENSORY ROOM – “KID POWER ROOM”
Movement Learning
This is an area where a child can get his "ya-ya's" out in a safe way. Activities that challenge gravity and provide vestibular input are good choices for the movement space. Simple indoor swings, mini-trampolines, therapy balls and Dizzy Discs complement this area. A well-functioning proprioceptive system provide children with an unconscious awareness of their body in space.
This room is used to facilitate muscle tone and the reticular activating system (alertness) in preparation for learning and creative activities.

Lighting
Sunlight is the main light in the room and allows for limited glare and distraction with visual-motor activities such as catching and throwing activities. Studies have shown that students in classrooms with regular fluorescent lighting demonstrate increased hyperactivity, fatigue, irritability and attention deficits, while those in classrooms installed with full spectrum lighting had improved academic achievement as well as improved behavior and classroom performance within one month after the new lights were installed.
