Sensory Stimulation
What is sensory stimulation?
Sensory stimulation refers to the process of engaging one or more of the five senses with various types of external stimuli. This can involve experiences like listening to music, feeling textures, tasting food, smelling fragrances, or observing visual patterns.
What are the different ways of sensory stimulation?
Visual – Viewing colorful objects, paintings, or lights can stimulate the sense of sight. Auditory – Listening to music or hearing sounds like rain, waves, or white noise can be relaxing and stimulating. Feel – Touching various surfaces, like soft fabrics, rough textures, or smooth stones, can provide sensory input. Using essential oils like lavender or peppermint can stimulate the sense of smell and have calming or invigorating effects. Savoring various textures (crunchy, smooth, chewy) alongside a variety of flavors (sweet, salty, bitter, sour) provides rich sensory input.
What are the benefits for atypical children?
It can also be used therapeutically in various settings, such as for individuals with sensory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorder or in relaxation techniques.
What are the benefits for typical children?
Sensory stimulation is important for brain development, emotional regulation, and overall well-being, as it helps the brain process and respond to the world around us.
Meet the Founder
Funclusion is the brainchild of Dr. Maheen Noorani, a mother of two boys with autism. After graduating from Columbia University, New York and completing a Doctorate of Education, she returned to Karachi to continue her special ed/needs consultancy services through Magical Minds. However, she struggled to find a recreational space where her sons could simply enjoy themselves without sensory overload, unpredictability, or overstimulation. Hence, Funclusion was born. As a consultant, she is passionate about supporting parents, teachers, and caregivers in fostering positive, fulfilling lives for children with diverse needs.

The idea of creating a space in Pakistan for special kids,not for training or therapy but purely for play and enjoyment is truly wonderful. I am really happy to see this initiative bringing joy and inclusivity to their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why blue and beige colours?
Soft pastel colours are soothing for children with ASD. Soft shades of blue is said to me the best colour. Bright colours make it difficult for them to focus, hence our space is in light shades of blue and beige.
Is it just for children with ASD?
Funclusion is open to all. It is an inclusive space but we do have a cut off number per slot so each visitor has their personal space
Is there an age limit?
Not at all! Anyone and everyone can enjoy Funclusion, be it for relaxing or self regulation.
What is the payment process?
Simply follow directions on the booking section of the website and you can make the payment online via card or bank transfer.
Are there socializing opportunities for my child?
When children are relaxed and comfortable, that is when they are off guard and more likely to engage with each other naturally.
Can I leave my child there and go?
We are working towards it, so we can give you some free time, knowing that your children are in a happy and safe place.
