The room itself is carefully and strategically installed with corn lights and luminous objects of different shapes. Comfortable bean bags and cushion pillows are placed inside. Glowing and lighting up toys are available for kids to play with.

Why build a Lights Room?

This room is part of the school’s advent for sensorial learning. It targets to reinforce sensory integration which most of the time the root cause of problems in development, information processing, and behavior. Building this room will help enhance the development of the students eye-hand coordination, focus and attention span. In this room, teachers and students have the leisure to calm down and relax when learning process come overwhelming.

The Lights room takes the transfer of learning in a different approach. In the article "5 Benefits of Multi-Sensory Environments" from the website Autism Journey they stated effects of building facilities like the Lights Room:
