Description

The Big Orange Bus is a double-decker bus with a permanent sensory stimulation unit, allowing it to travel to areas of the world affected by poverty, war or natural disaster.

Objectives

The aims of the project were
  • the stimulation of people who are withdrawn due to physical disability, neglect/abuse, autism, sensory impairment, trauma
  • to inspire permanent carers to use a sensory approach in treatment of these individuals
  • to provide - or assist in the provision of - specific equipment as a permanent resource to be used by the local population. This will help to further establish this mean of development within the community
