Sensory Recharge Studio

A Supportive Space to Pause, Refocus and Recharge

The Sensory Recharge Studio may support individual self-regulation, quiet reading, mindfulness, calming music, communication activities, small-group instruction, and sensory exploration.

This is not an isolation room and is not used merely for staff convenience. Its use is based on member choice, assessed need, and the person-centered plan.

Quiet and rest options are part of the Sensory Recharge Studio; they are not bedrooms.
