WHAT? Official opening of multisensory room
As part of Catholic Education Week activities, École St-Charles Borromée will celebrate the official opening of its new multisensory room. The Snoezelen room was created through the efforts of educators Denise Anderson and Francine Lagrandeur who wanted to create a room for special needs students and support them in their learning. Through its design, the room places the person with special needs in a soothing and stimulating environment, the "Snoezelen room". These rooms are specially designed to deliver stimuli to various senses.
