Service Description
Curious minds and curious senses—get ready to explore them all in Sensory Lab! Each week, we’ll explore one of the five senses through hands-on, feel-good activities that spark creativity, mindfulness, and fun. We’ll kick things off by building our own diffusers with favorite calming scents, then dig into the textures of kinetic sand, weighted blankets, and playful fidget toys. As we move through the weeks, we’ll tune in to the relaxing world of sound through soothing ASMR and immersive sound baths, splash into sight with expressive finger painting, dive into the world of fragrance by crafting custom perfume oils, and finally, taste our way through a delicious end-of-session snack party! Along the way, students will reflect on how each sense helps us feel emotions, connect with others, and enjoy the world around us. Whether you're seeking calm, connection, or just something new to try, Sensory Lab is a vibrant adventure for your senses!
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
