“…A margin of error must be taken into account in the data collection produced by the expert who conducted the assessment, though, as this was a unblinded study. This result supports several studies that demonstrate these children's development has improved, showing that a CwDS can acquire proprioceptive abilities using a tool of this kind [3], [7], [20], [39].…”

“…The Magic Room presented in this paper is the latest version of the iMSE reported in [1] and [13], and results from a long technology re-engineering process and a countless number of design refinements and extensions. The first version was mainly intended for relaxation and free play of persons with NDD.…”

Interactive Multi-Sensory Environments (iMSEs) are roomsized interactive installations equipped with digitally enriched physical materials and ambient embedded devices. These items can sense users' presence, gestures, movements, and manipulation, and react by providing gentle stimulation (e.g., light, sound, projections, blowing bubbles, tactile feel, aromas) to different senses. Most of prior research on iMSEs investigates their use for persons with disabilities (e.g., autism). Our work focuses on the use of iMSEs in primary education contexts and for mixed groups of young students, i.e., children with and without disability. The paper describes the latest version of an iMSE called Magic Room that has been installed in two local schools. We report two empirical studies devoted to understand how the Magic Room could be used in inclusive educational settings, and to explore its potential benefits.

“…The solution we propose is called "Magic Room" (MR) where children with NDD can be involved in playful multisensory experiences that are specifically designed in order to match their needs and offer a much wider gamut of play opportunities than traditional MSEs [1]. The process of designing both the smart environment, the smart objects, and the activities to be performed inside the MR involved a local care centre and a set of NDD specialists who are experts in the use of traditional MSEs.…”
