The magic of multisensory rooms is not found in bubble tubes or fibre optics, it is in the humans within them and in their willingness to listen to one another with all their senses. Connecting in a moment of shared sensory understanding. parenta.com/2023/10/13/do-โ€ฆ

Mind on sensory matters & eating whilst boiling potatoes for mash. Suddenly brought back the horror of scoops of lukewarm school mashed potato with bits of potato skin & dark potato โ€˜eyesโ€™ lurking. Do you have a particular school dinners offer that you simply canโ€™t eat?

Such a great paper looking at creative ways for neurodivergent young people to express themselves & participate in research. Also, important focus on relationship and trust. Much here that clinicians can draw on when working with yp.
