Background
A hospital stay, not least an operation, is often a scary and traumatizing experience for a child.
A sensuous space to mitigate the hospital experience
Based on experience from health issues in her own family, Marie Louise Møller Skov has worked with Horsens Hospital to create a child-friendly recovery room. Here, the child can wake up to play and sensory experiences based on light and sound and even shape the experience and thus gain a sense of control over the environment.
