Sensory Sensation! 11.22.24
Everyone is LOVING the sensory wall. It is so much fun to see the kids and hear them as they interact with the items and also with their adults. From twirling, to using a phone, to practicing locks, the wall is a huge hit and never grows old.
It is INSTALLED!

Do you remember that a few years back we received a very special donation from Schenectady ARC? It was a 5 sided Sensory Wall, with all manner of media and materials from things to touch to gadgets to manipulate.
The wall was built by a coalition of Schenectady folks, all of whom we know and love. Funding was provided by the Arts Center of the Capital Region, which was won by Schenectady ARC and was a collaboration with the Schenectady Rotary, The Autism Society, CREATE Community Studios. Kristi Isabella, an artist and instructor with CREATE designed and built the walls with the help of Schenectady Rotary. Kristi did the remarkable work of making this 5-sided piece come to life to give sensory experiences to others.
It is now on our walls after being in storage as we awaited our move. Today, Kurt from LeChase installed it. Today our kids were awed, but not just our kids – our staff has been having so much fun trying everything out and seeing how things work so that they can guide their students. It’s such a special addition to our school, and we are filled with gratitude.
