That is why in places with kids of these intellectual disabilities, such as autism, need specially designed rooms to provide sensory stimulation to the users.

By creating a functional playroom, the kids will be able to feel comfortable in their environment, interviewing parents of children with these intellectual disabilities and researching multisensory development the information can be implemented to create a space that is comfortable for the users.
