Sensory Stimulation We all know that aside from the obvious physical and emotional challenges facing the visually or multiply impaired child, these children are at a disadvantage to their non-impaired peers in terms of cognitive development in that they are less apt to "explore," and thus, learn at those critical early ages. In contrast, their non-impaired peers seem to be exploring and learning very quickly at this stage of development. By systematically and routinely placing a visually or multiply impaired child in the Noisy Box for undisturbed "free play" and "exploring" sessions, the child "nests" in this cozy, non-threatening environment. Once the child begins to feel comfortable and safe here, the real progress begins. The concept and design of the Noisy Box promote the development of object permanence, spatial relations, cause and effect, and memory skills by encouraging object manipulation and independent play in a non-threatening environment--all skills that seem to come naturally and quickly to their non-impaired peers. Because of the close-in walls and ceiling, sounds created by the child's play or voice become amplified and somewhat isolated or insulated from background noise, further enhancing the child's experience.

Noisy Boxes The Noisy Box (sensory stimulation room) is designed to assist the education professional in promoting fundamental skills such as the development of object permanence, spatial relations, cause and effect, and memory skills in children with visual and/or multiple impairments by encouraging object manipulation and independent play in a non-threatening environment. The Noisy Box provides a physical frame from which a variety of toys/objects can be suspended by elastic cords (included with Accessory/Object Package.) Each Noisy Box frame is constructed of high-quality furniture grade 1" diameter PVC tubing and fittings. The legs which connect the top and bottom frames are removable so that the Noisy Box can be quickly collapsed flat, placed in the convenient tote bag, and easily transported (for itenerant VI Teachers.) Side and back panels are constructed of PVC sheets. Top panels are constructed of 1/4" Plexiglas for visual supervision and monitoring, with 3/8" holes drilled for objects to be suspended for the child's manipulation.

Extra Plexiglas tops give you more mileage from your Noisy Box in a classroom setting because you can designate different tops for different children, each with his or her own set of toys and objects. This flexibility saves you the time and trouble it takes to remove one child's toys/objects and either disinfect or replace with another child's toys/objects. We offer extra panel fasteners in the event that those provided with your Noisy Box eventually wear out from extended use or become misplaced. We offer an Accessory/Object Package which includes 10 toys and objects, 15 cord locks, and elastic bands with which to suspend the toys and objects. The package includes toys and objects which are designed to provide the child with auditory and/or tactile feedback.
