Calming Room
We are proud to introduce Sophia's Place, the very first calming room in the world with printed electronics on the walls for individuals with autism or others.
-
The user has the ability to choose options and have control what they want to experience, through touch, sight, and sound.
-
Each experience is individualized to the user, by the user.
-
The user gets instant feedback based on their choices while creating a sense of independence.

The interactive wall panels also offer ongoing learning into adulthood through their programmed stories and sounds.
Interactive Music Wall
The same technology has been carried over into a central meeting area where our Music Wall will be available for all to use.
The Music Wall was produced by Genevieve Goings of Disney Junior's Choo Choo Soul fame.
"Services and programs offered by The Carousel Center are all great needs for the autism and special needs population in the Mahoning Valley.
