The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on Grace’s article on multisensory rooms.,This paper gives a historical overview of the emergence and evolution of multi-sensory environments (MSEs) together with an outline of a current research project seeking to support best practice.,MSEs have become a standard feature in special educational needs schools in the UK with government building guidelines now stipulating the inclusion of at least one sensory room within any such provision. However, there is little research-based evidence from which design decisions can be informed. Instead, previous research has tended to focus on the effectiveness of MSEs for specific user groups.,The outlined research will establish some initial design principles for MSEs.

评论“多感官室：有效实践的基本特征和障碍”

本文的目的是对 Grace 的关于多感官房间的文章进行评论。本文对多感官环境 (MSE) 的出现和演变进行了历史概述，并概述了当前寻求支持的最佳研究项目实践中，MSE 已成为英国特殊教育需求学校的标准特征，政府建筑指南现在规定在任何此类规定中至少包含一个感官室。然而，很少有基于研究的证据可以从中了解设计决策。相反，先前的研究倾向于关注特定用户群的 MSE 的有效性。概述的研究将为 MSE 建立一些初始设计原则。
