Multisensory stimulation therapy involves the
simultaneous stimulation of several senses in a relaxing
environment to achieve a variety of therapeutic
outcomes for client with conditions affecting sensory
and cognitive processes. We present, StimuHat, a
wearable system for therapists to visually stimulate
patients. We conducted a pilot study in which a
therapist used StimuHat in sessions with three children
with profound brain damage. The results showed that
StimuHat appears to have stimulated the children and
created positive relaxation and engagement in them.
