Sensory stimulation refers to the process of engaging the senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—to enhance awareness and perception of the environment. It can occur through various activities, such as listening to music, feeling different textures, or enjoying flavorful foods. This stimulation can help improve cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall sensory processing. In therapeutic settings, sensory stimulation is often used to support individuals with conditions like autism or dementia. Techniques may include using sensory toys, aromatherapy, or visual aids to create a more engaging and supportive atmosphere. These methods aim to promote relaxation, focus, and communication.
