“Practical and Effective Ways of using Multi-Sensory Equipment” is one of most popular courses.
The course is all about using the equipment safely and confidently and giving people loads of ideas to use it creatively and with purpose, whether it’s a couple of pieces they are using portably or they have a fully kitted out multi-sensory room.
The two comments we hear most often at the beginning of the day are ”we just tend to go in and turn everything on” and “we have a room but we don’t feel its being used to its full potential. At the end of this course delegates go away buzzing with new ideas which they can put into practice straight away.
The other comment we hear, from people who have recently bought rooms or equipment is “we wish we had been on this course first”. There are many expensive mistakes to be made when buying multi-sensory equipment. This course really takes things back to basics and concentrates on the importance of the environment itself, as well as the equipment. We adopt a “less is more” approach equipment is concerned and feel that it’s what you do with it that counts, rather than the amount or sophistication of the equipment.
Concept Training have been involved in the design of multi-sensory rooms since 1992. We’ve witnessed changes in trends, visited a vast number of rooms and spoken to numerous facilitators. As an independent company we’re able to give people the help they need to avoid expensive mistakes and to end up with a room which is not only practical, but fulfils its purpose.
If you are in the process of designing a multi-sensory room and you feel you’d like some independent help and guidance please Email your initial enquiry to info@concept-training.co.uk
As a general rule our service would include an initial site visit and meeting with any interested parties. We would then draw up a brief, including our joint ideas, which would be sent to three companies of your choice (we are happy to advise you on this). When the designs and quotes have been received we would then meet again to go through the “pros and cons” of each, allowing you to make and ask for any amendments. The end result will be a multi-sensory environment which has been really well thought out and fit for purpose, not a room full of expensive and inappropriate equipment.

 Optikinetics Solar 100w projector
£278 (ex Vat and delivery) This projector takes all the same accessories as the Solar 250, but is smaller and lighter. It doesn’t give as bright an image as the Solar so is best used in a small, very dark room. |
 1/2 rpm (revolutions per minute) wheel rotator

|
|
 Variable speed (reverse-stop-start) wheel rotator inluding remote control

 Kaleidoscope lens
£169 (ex vat and delivery) This is a fantastic lens, particularly if you (or the people you support) are creating your own images using blank effects wheels. The kaleidoscope lens turns even the simplest of “squiggles” into a wonderful six faceted kaleidoscope effect. |
 6" Plastic effect wheels (various scenes, patterns) - price per wheel
£32 (ex vat and delivery) These are used in conjunction with the 1/2 rpm rotator and come in a wide variety of designs. Please click here to view the range. If ordering please order by code. |

 3" Cassette effects (various patterns)
£37.00 (ex Vat and delivery) As an alternative to projecting the 6” effects wheels, which mainly tend to be scenes, the effects cassettes project patterns. The colours are very vivid and are particularly useful for projection onto dark colours or where there is visual impairment. Click here to see our range of patterns and their order codes. |
 M33 spare lamp for Solar 250
£7.50 (ex Vat and delivery) This is the lamp needed for the Solar 250 projector. Its a halogen lamp, so touching it with fingers will make it “blow” When handling, either snip the end off the plastic bag which contains it or hold it with a tissue. In normal use these lamps should last hundreds of hours. |
 Height adjustable wall mounted projector rig£230 (ex Vat and delivery) This is a really useful piece of equipment onto which the projector fixes. It allows the projector to be kept safely out of harms way whilst having the facility to move it down in order to change effects. It is a robust piece of equipment and needs to be fixed to a sturdy wall. |

60cm UV lamp in safety shade / cage on collapsible tripod stand £165 (ex Vat and delivery) Having the UV lamp as a portable piece of equipment is not only more versatile than the “fixed” version, but means that the light can be more directed and focused.
