Sensory Friendly Room available (Montcalm room - Level 2)

Your CAPS Québec convention team is pleased to make available a “Sensory Friendly” room (Montcalm - Level 2) for the duration of the convention. The sensory-friendly room is specially designed to prioritize a calm and comfortable environment, catering to individuals who may have sensory processing challenges or sensitivities. The room is thoughtfully arranged to minimize sensory stimuli, featuring soft lighting, muted colors, and sound-absorbing materials to create a tranquil atmosphere. Furniture and decor are chosen to be soothing, with options for varied seating preferences. Additionally, the room will have power bars where you can charge up your devices . The goal of this room is to offer a safe and inclusive space where individuals of all sensory profiles can feel at ease and supported. We ask that no talking or phone calls take place while you are in this space and that you respect your fellow CAPS colleagues who may also be making use of the space.

Votre équipe du congrès CAPS Québec est heureuse de mettre à votre disposition une salle « Sensory Friendly » (Chambre Montcalm - niveau 2) pour la durée du congrès. La salle sensorielle est spécialement conçue pour donner la priorité à un environnement calme et confortable, s'adressant aux personnes susceptibles d'avoir des problèmes de traitement sensoriel ou des sensibilités. La pièce est soigneusement aménagée pour minimiser les stimuli sensoriels, avec un éclairage doux, des couleurs douces et des matériaux insonorisants pour créer une atmosphère tranquille. Le mobilier et la décoration sont choisis pour être apaisants, avec des options pour des préférences de sièges variées.
