Fibre Optics
Fibre optics offer relaxing and calming benefits as well as bright, colourful and stunning effects to aid the understanding of cause and effect. A relaxing and calming technique to use in a sensory environment is to use the fibre optic lights like a weighted brush (the strands give off a heavier, more weighted feel). The weighted brushing gently calms the person down and because the fibre optics are cool to the touch they can be brushed anywhere including the face. The colours will also act as a calming sensory experience as the children feel protected when covered in fibre optics.
