Mental health services are increasingly using sensory modulation in acute or other mental health settings to improve recovery. This blog will explore the use of sensory modulation in mental health and the benefits of the mindful and individualised use of sensory strategies. Two main strategies will be examined; individualised sensory diets and the use of sensory rooms in acute mental health settings and their impact on client recovery and participation in meaningful occupations.
