Introducing our new Sensory Projector System
Introducing our new Sensory Projector System
- December 5, 2020
People who live with disabilities tend to experience the world and their surroundings differently. By realising the benefits of Sensory Projector System, people with disability are better equipped to learn important life skills while enjoying a more active and inclusive lifestyle.
What are sensory activities and how do they assist those living with disability?
Sensory activities are those that activate one or more of our five senses: taste, smell, vision, hearing and touch. They are essential for overall emotional wellbeing, as they can assist in conveying emotional support, affection and respect.
Sensory activities are often used to help those with Alzheimer’s or dementia. As it helps them stay in the moment and connected to their current surroundings. Everyday objects are used to stimulate their senses, which can help to call up positive emotions and memories.
It is also a great, natural way for children on the autism spectrum to stimulate their brains. Discover their world and become better learners.
Research has proven that sensory stimulation supports language development, cognitive growth, and the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Our belief in Innovation
At Concept Care, delivering people-centric care through innovative support solutions lies at the centre of our vision. That’s why we’ve introduced the OM Interactive (OMi) projection system. A state-of-the-art projector imported from the UK exclusively for our clients. OM are pioneers in the design of interactive projections for multi-sensory use, and have led the way in creating inclusive sensory products and immersive environments that truly engage and motivate people of all ages and disabilities.
The OMi system assists our clients by providing an immersive environment to embark on a journey of discovery. The omniVista range of motion-activated projection systems create dynamic images on floors and tables. As well as other horizontal surfaces including sheets, tents and padded materials.
From fields to mountains, and ocean depths to outer space, the interactive areas of the system encourage meaningful exploration of worlds both past and present. It also fosters inclusive learning by removing barriers to learning, encouraging collaboration whilst respecting the diversity of our clients.
