JOURNAL
Journal of Multi-Sensory Environments
A scholarly and reflective journal of practice, The Journal of Multi-Sensory Environments invites researchers, practitioners, caregivers, educators, designers, and families to share insights that deepen our understanding of sensory engagement, companionship, and quality of life.
While we welcome peer-reviewed scholarly articles, we also believe that meaningful knowledge often emerges from reflection, practice, and lived experience. For this reason, the journal intentionally creates space for both academic work and thoughtful reflections from the field.
Our aim is to cultivate a global community of learning where research, practice, and personal insight can inform one another.
Types of Contributions We Welcome
Scholarly Articles
Research studies, literature reviews, and theoretical papers related to multi-sensory environments, sensory processing, and quality of life.
Practice Insights
Articles from practitioners describing program models, therapeutic approaches, environmental design, or lessons learned in practice.
Reflective Narratives
Personal reflections from therapists, caregivers, educators, or individuals who have experienced multi-sensory environments. These pieces may explore moments of connection, learning, and transformation.
Case Studies
Descriptions of individual or program outcomes that highlight meaningful use of multi-sensory environments.
Innovation & Technology
Emerging tools such as sensory technologies, robotics, interactive environments, or neuroscience-informed approaches.
Global Perspectives
Stories and practices from different countries and cultural contexts.
A Welcoming Invitation
Not every contribution needs to be a formal academic paper. We welcome insightful reflections, thoughtful questions, and meaningful stories from practice that can inspire learning within our global community.
If you have an idea you would like to share but are unsure if it fits a traditional academic format, we encourage you to reach out to the editorial team. We are happy to work with contributors to help shape ideas into a format that can benefit others.
Submission Process
Authors may submit manuscripts or reflections in Word format. Scholarly articles should follow APA guidelines, while reflective contributions may follow a more flexible narrative format.
All submissions are reviewed by the editorial team. Scholarly articles may undergo peer review prior to publication.
