What is Sensory Stimulation Therapy?
Sensory Stimulation Therapy uses all five senses (sight, hearing,
touch, taste and smell) to help improve a person’s mental
function and understanding of the environment.
It can be used to help people with learning disabilities, sensory
impairments and dementia.
Sensory Stimulation Therapy aims to promote relaxation and
encourage positive behaviour and emotions. It's also used to
encourage interaction and communication, reduce stress and
prevent boredom.
Heartbeat now has a selection of Sensory Stimulation toys
which you can use in your own home. Please be aware that all
the Sensory Stimulation toys should be used under supervision.
