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.

Sensory Diet Checklist

A sensory diet should incorporate the following;

•Prevention strategies
•Crisis intervention strategies
•A personalized sensory kit
•The type and amount of support needed to succeed
•Sensory supportive space(s)


I have attached a sensory diet checklist, created by Tina Champagne, of activities people may use or do in order to decrease and/or prevent stress.
