Changing Australia: Bliss Cavanagh and creating sensory spaces
Published 1 week ago
Description
Ever since she was a little girl, Bliss Cavanagh lost herself in art.
She was just six years old when symptoms of Tourette syndrome first appeared, a lifelong condition which can result in involuntary movements and vocal tics.
When Bliss started studying at university, she discovered that — like art — purpose-built sensory rooms could also have a calming effect.
It's an experience that set her on a journey to make these rooms more accessible to the general public and create her own inclusive spaces.
Guest: Dr Bliss Cavanagh, founder Creative Sensory Spaces
