Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, my name is Tracy Correll and welcome to
Indispensable People.
I'm a wife, mom, teacher,pastor and missionary, and I
believe that every person shouldhave the opportunity to know
Christ, grow in Him and serveHim with the gifts that he has
given, no matter their ability.
Over 65 million Americans havea disability.
That's 25% of the population.
(00:26):
However, over 80% of them arenot inside the walls of our
church.
Let's dive into those hardtopics biblical foundations,
perceptions and welcome totoday's episode.
(00:53):
We're talking about sensoryrooms.
Does your church need it?
Do you need it in the spacethat you serve?
What is it all about?
What does it entail and is itextremely costly?
We're going to answer some ofthose questions today as we dive
deep in, but first we want toreally talk about what are
sensory needs, why are we evenaddressing them and how do they
(01:16):
impact the church?
First of all, we want tounderstand and accommodate
sensory needs, because it isvital for creating an inclusive
environment within churches.
Sensory needs can significantlyimpact an individual's ability
to participate in worshipcommunity, leading to challenges
such as sensory overload,limited participation and social
(01:40):
isolation if we don't have somekind of setup or way to help
people navigate their sensoryneeds.
So how sensory needs impact thechurch.
Well, first of all, let's talkabout the overload and anxiety
that can bring through.
Bright lights, loud music,crowded spaces, sudden changes
(02:02):
in atmosphere can triggersensory overload for individuals
with sensitivities, and thiscan lead to anxiety, agitation
and difficulty focusing duringservices, and, due to that, we
can have limited participation,which can includeming sensory
input that causes people withsensory processing issues to
(02:27):
withdraw or even avoid churchaltogether, hindering their
ability to engage fully in thetotal life of the church that it
leads to.
Feeling uncomfortable in anenvironment can lead to
(02:48):
isolating yourself, whether itbe in a space, in the room, in
the church, or even by notcoming at all, and so the church
needs to address or at leasthave accommodations for sensory
needs so that we make sure thatpeople can feel comfortable in
this space, so that there isn'tlimited participation and so
(03:08):
that isolation doesn't need tooccur.
So what are some examples ofsensory needs that we need to
consider?
First, let's talk about visualsensitivities.
Individuals may be bothered byflickering lights, bright colors
or cluttered visuals.
Just an example that I willgive you Last year, I was
(03:29):
putting up a brand new Christmastree that we had bought, and I
was looking at the tree andthere's absolutely nothing.
I see nothing going on, it'sabsolutely fine.
And my son, noah, kept saying,mom, the tree is flickering.
Mom, the tree is flickering.
And I'm like, no, it's not,Noah, I don't see anything, I
don't see a problem.
(03:49):
And then I had taken out myphone to take a picture of it
and I see the flickering.
I see it happening through thephoto lens of my phone and I
realized that the sensitivitiesthat someone else feels doesn't
mean that I see or feel them inthe same way.
So might seem just absolutelyfine for the way that you're
(04:13):
experiencing it, but thatdoesn't mean it isn't impacting
someone else.
So we want to consider those.
Flickering lights, the brightcolors, cluttered visuals All of
those things can lead tosensory overload.
We also want to considerauditory sensitivities.
Loud noises, sudden changes involume or unclear announcements
(04:37):
can be disruptive.
So, for instance, if you're ina service on a Sunday morning
and you're switching fromworship to a video, to a
microphone, just having yourteam be cautious and aware of
the volume levels for each ofthose things, so not to startle
someone.
Those are things to consider.
(04:58):
Also don't get me wrong, becauseI love loud worship mostly
because I don't want to hearmyself sing and I don't want to
hear other people sing.
I just want to sing and I wantto not worry about how I'm
worshiping.
And so I enjoy not beingdistracted when the volume is
(05:18):
louder, but an intense volumewith also harshness in the sound
.
And I say this because myhusband and my son both run
sound at my church from time totime and I don't know a whole
lot about music and I don't knowa whole lot about sound.
But from time to time I'll sendthem a text that says hey guys,
(05:43):
it's sounding a little harshtoday.
Time to time I'll send them atext that says hey guys, it's
sounding a little harsh todayand there's just kind of like a
volume at which it kind of cutsthrough you and so other people
feel differently about that.
So here are some ways to combatthat.
Obviously, you can't havevolume that appeases everybody's
(06:05):
wants and needs.
Again, I said I like it loud.
Someone else might be startledby it, but you can provide a
disposable earplugs.
You can have noise-cancelingheadphones available, a sensory
bag at your welcome center thatcan be used by someone.
(06:27):
Another thing to take intoconsideration is tactile
sensitivities, and I think we asthe church probably have a lot
less that we can do about this.
Obviously, a lot of thattactile is going to come in how
they're dressed and how theyfeel.
Now, if you're a church thatrequires or really pushes, you
(06:49):
know, a formal wear, this mightbe something that could be
hindering someone you know.
They feel like they have todress a certain way.
If they don't feel comfortablein that way, then they have a
hard time at church.
Not until just a couple ofyears a year or two ago did my
son really wear anything otherthan sweatpants, and he doesn't
(07:12):
like pants with buttons, andwearing a belt is hard, all of
those kinds of things.
And so, in a listen, as thekids are younger, those elastic
pants, they're normal, right,you can get them in khakis and
jeans and all kinds of things,and so they're a lot more doable
.
But as they get into older,youth, young adult stage, those
(07:35):
things are less available and ifthey are, they're not very
stylish and so you bring aboutanother situation there.
So having a little bit of amore relaxed dress code, if you
have one, is probably helpful tothat individual who may have
(07:57):
tactile sensitivities, be itcertain textures of clothing,
furniture, textures of clothing,furniture, even the way the
hymnals feel all that kind ofstuff can cause discomfort.
Again, this isn't necessarily alot of things that the church
can really do.
A lot of churches now put theirwords to songs up on the screen
(08:22):
, so you don't even have hymnalsor you don't have to worry
about that.
Again, if you have a little bitmore relaxed clothing, kind of
dress code deal that allowspeople to wear things that they
feel comfortable in, that kindof stuff it kind of takes care
of itself.
So the next is olfactorysensitivities, which is
(08:45):
considering smells, right.
So strong scents like perfumesor incense can trigger negative
reactions.
So I would say a lot of thingsthat we and this is something we
think about in terms of peoplehaving asthma, stuff like that.
So it might be something thatyou've already considered, you
(09:09):
know having like smelly pluginsor certain cleaning products or
you know things without all ofthose smells, especially a
multitude of smells.
So consider that as you areworking with your cleaning crew
(09:34):
and dealing with those kinds ofthings, and you may have to take
that more into considerationwhen considering youth or kids
church so that they provideoptions or ways to protect those
kiddos who might have thosesensitivities in that respect.
(09:54):
So let's go into even morespecific strategies for churches
, creating a sensory friendlyenvironment.
Here's where we get intotalking about the sensory room.
We may want to considercreating a designated quiet or
sensory space.
So a quiet space, a quiet room,providing a designated area
(10:16):
with low lighting, soft seating,calming activities where
individuals can retreat whenneeded.
Calming activities whereindividuals can retreat when
needed, so like when they getoverwhelmed or they need just
need some space to, you know,regulate themselves and then
move back in.
And this is really greatbecause, especially during a
Sunday morning service, wheneverybody, for most part, is in
(10:38):
the main service, maybe minuskids, you may have more access
to space in your room and so itcould be in your church.
So it could double, or one roomcould double, as that quiet
space.
Maybe it's used for Sundayschool class or something else
at other times, but it could bethe quiet space during service.
(11:01):
Another thing is consideringbuilding that sensory room.
Now, a quiet space you're goingto have.
This is for somebody who needsto be a sensory avoider, right,
they're getting away from thesmells, the touches, the taste,
all of the sound, all of thatkind of stuff, but a sensory
(11:22):
room is where they're lookingfor.
They're a sensory seeker.
They're looking for thosesensory needs to be fulfilled
and so in that space you'regoing to offer some sensory toys
, maybe fidget toys, stressballs, seating that provides
some kind of sensory input, likea rocking chair or a chair that
(11:44):
swivels, that kind of stuff,and where there can be more
lights, so that, if you've seena lot with, like fiber optic
lights or things like that,bubble towers, all that kind of
stuff provides different kind ofsensory input.
(12:04):
Physical movement is reallyanother great thing to think
about.
If you've ever seen like theexercise balls that sit into the
chair, those are really greatoptions.
Sit into the chair, those arereally great options, providing
just different types of seating,like I mentioned with the
(12:27):
rocking chair and that kind ofstuff, and then the different
kinds of lighting.
All of that you can still,depending upon who the room is
geared towards kids, teens,adults.
If it's for adults, then youcan still be streaming the
service in it.
If that works for them, you cando give them, you know, a
sensory break and do a lesson.
(12:48):
If it's for a kid, who maybecan't, the navigation in a
regular children's service istoo difficult for them so they
spend more time in the sensoryroom.
Sometimes we use the sensoryroom.
They go into the typicalservice, navigate that and then,
as we notice things areescalating, then we'll take them
(13:10):
into the sensory room, set atimer and then bring them back
into the main space afterthey've regulated.
So the sensory rooms canfulfill lots of options.
I would also suggest thingslike Legos and you're going to
make some considerations withthat, especially for kiddos who
put things in their mouth, oradults who may put things in
(13:33):
their mouth.
Also, with that you could havea light table.
You could have a sensory wallwhere there are tactile things
that they can touch and interactwith.
There are lots of options withina sensory space.
You can look up sensory roomsand find things that fit your
space best.
(13:54):
We do and have had to use oursensory room as a shared space
before and we've been able tomake that work.
We did have a hanging chair, wehad a trampoline a little mini
like exercise trampoline andsome things like that and at
times you know the shared spacemight have to move some of those
(14:15):
things in and out to make themwork, but it is is all very
possible and very doable, andhere's what I'm going to tell
you, because one of the otherquestions is how much does it
cost?
You know, because budget is ahuge deal.
The first sensory room I evercreated, I collected items like
a beanbag chair, I had a pianokeyboard, things like that for
(14:38):
free, like I put out a wishlistand people brought in things.
But also what I purchased forthe room cost me $300.
So I was able to do that on avery small base.
If you are interested in whatmore you could put in a sensory
room, my email is CorllC-O-R-L-L.
(15:01):
Specialtouch at gmailcom andI'd love to send you my Amazon
list of what is available outthere for sensory rooms.
Over the time, we have switched,changed, put new things in,
changed old things out.
Really, it depends on thepeople that you serve and the
needs that they have, and that'swhere you can focus.
(15:24):
But you do not need therapygrade equipment.
Yes, that might be wonderfuland long lasting, and so maybe
the financial investment overtime would be worth it.
But if that's not in the budgetand those things are not
possible, there are everydaythings that you can collect that
can be used for sensoryfulfillment and there are
(15:47):
cost-effective things that canwork and also encourage those
who are going to use the sensoryroom to maybe bring an item
that works for them, that theyalways have or they always use,
whether that's their ownpersonal noise-canceling
headphones, or if they havetactile something that they
(16:09):
typically carry with them, ifthey have a chewy that they put
around their neck and chew upon.
Those are all things that theycan bring that can help fulfill
those needs in that time andalso help you to fulfill the
needs that they have withoutincurring extra expense.
But also put it in your budget.
(16:30):
It's worth it.
It makes for great impact andaccommodation, it allows for
people to fully participate inthe total life of the church and
it assures that they do notbecome isolated and separated
and that they are a part of thebody of Christ, because that is
what Jesus has meant for them.
(16:51):
Do I know everything aboutdisability ministry?
Do I have all the answers?
Have I done everythingperfectly?
I've absolutely not, but we aregoing to continue this
conversation so that people ofall abilities can have the
opportunity to know Christ, growin Him and serve Him with the
gifts that he has given them.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
