Noisy Box (based on ideas of the Little Room by Lilli Nielsen's Active Learning)
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. http://www.specialed.com/sensorystimulation.html
What is Active Learning? Active Learning is an approach based on the work of Dr. Lilli Nielsen. It is not just a piece of equipment, such as a "Little Room" or a HOPSA dress, but rather it refers to a total approach, for instructing individuals with severe multiple disabilities. http://activelearningspace.org/
