RT AnnaKennedy1: Autism: A sensory solution autism sensory
Two major events prompted Mayo entrepreneur David McIntyre to develop the Cubbie booth which offers a sensory solution for people with autism, ADHD and other sensory processing disorders .
“I was keen to make school as enjoyable an experience for Ava as possible. Most important was to support her progress through life, fulfil her potential and the freedom to participate in normal everyday activities.” He explains that for people with sensory issues it is important to regulate the senses. “People with autism can be hyper or hypo responsive, sensitive to light, sound, taste, touch. They can be uncontrollable or sleepy/lethargic.
It delivers an individualised sensory programme, on a touchpad. Each person’s unique sensory programme can be downloaded to other Cubbies which will allow the person get the same sensory care in another school, hospital, shop or airport . A sensory portrait was constructed for each student with five school staff, including a special education needs teacher, two special needs assistants and two classroom assistants assisting. “Some need to use the Cubbie twice a day, others need it only once a month. Ten-minute sessions were all that were needed for the students taking part in the study.”
“The initial case study exceeded our expectations; the focus is to help improve the experience for everyone. Our system not only helps the student understand the curriculum, it also helps manage school carer resources, and will allow schools to enrol greater numbers of students with autism.”
