“The white room uses light and sound and is accompanied with white furniture and walls to create an environment that can help relax, calm and stimulate individuals. This therapeutic environment has a proven record with clients with various difficulties. . . . Imagine the White Room as a blank canvas where a colourful palette of lights are projected to give a stunning world of colour and imagery. Relaxing music gently plays in the background whilst the Vibro Acoustic Seat resonates deep bass sounds through the body. All these combine to provide a powerful sensory experience and valuable tool for carers and teachers.

The Black Room . . . helps with particular visual problems; brightly coloured items against a black surface are easier to identify because the black doesn’t reflect the light. . . . Ultra violet is . . . used extensively along with UV reactive equipment. Imagine the Black Room as a darkened theatre where occasionally a glowing hand held object appears as if by magic.”
