The toy lending service of vzw De Tandem in Sint-Amandsberg (Ghent), a service organisation for home-based counselling of persons with a mental disability, lends toys to children and adults with a developmental disorder, limitation or long-term illness. The toy lending service wants to enable parents and counsellors to borrow adjusted and attractive playing material that encourages children and adults with a disability to be active, to overcome limitations and to indulge their phantasies.
In a next step of this project, the non-profit organisation wants to create a multi-sensory stimulation room within the premises of the toy lending service. A multi-sensory stimulation room is decorated in a particular way using cosy lighting and soft music. In this room, several materials are used that stimulate the senses. The room creates a safe living environment, generating relaxation and rest and increasing self-esteem. Obviously, decorating such room is not without costs. Support from the Alpro Social Fund would therefore be more than welcome.
