These sculptures will be added to the sensory garden to blow in the wind. Using the wind as a medium they will induce sensory stimulation through a variety of visual and auditory ways. The sculptures will be as varied as the sensory needs of the children making them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The children will thus, not only feel a sense of pride having created something beautiful, but they will have sensory enjoyment, satisfaction and stimulation from watching the sculpture blow in the wind or hearing the chimes and bells ring.\u00a0 By involving the children in all stages of the project, the aim is to bring creativity into their lives and provide them with a sense of inclusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":30021,"template":"","class_list":["post-30020","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sensory Sculptures - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The aim of the project is to create a safe and nurturing environment where autistic children, teenagers and young adults with Autism and Intellectual Disability can explore their creativity to the fullest.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/sensory-sculptures\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sensory Sculptures - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The aim of the project is to create a safe and nurturing environment where autistic children, teenagers and young adults with Autism and Intellectual Disability can explore their creativity to the fullest.
