Welcome to The Sensory Oasis, a calming and supportive space at LIFE Mower County designed for individuals of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). This peaceful environment provides a range of sensory experiences that foster relaxation, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

Features of The Sensory Oasis:
  • Soothing Lighting: Adjustable lighting helps create a peaceful, customized atmosphere.
  • Tactile Surfaces: A variety of textures provide gentle sensory input.
  • Calming Sounds: Soft, ambient music and nature sounds encourage relaxation and focus.

Access and Cost:
The Sensory Oasis is available for free use to both LIFE Mower County members and non-members.  We believe everyone should have access to a calming, inclusive space that supports their sensory needs. Families who use The Sensory Oasis are welcome to make a donation if they choose—your generosity helps us maintain and improve this valuable resource for the community.
​
Whether you're looking for a break from the noise of everyday life or a dedicated space to support sensory regulation, The Sensory Oasis offers a safe and soothing place to recharge.
