Abstract
A stowable sensory learning assembly configured to provide a multi-sensory stimulation work space for people with sensory disorders and various learning disabilities that can be efficiently stowed when not in use and efficiently and rapidly deployed when needed. The stowable sensory learning assembly includes a horizontal base connected to a vertical housing and a canopy housing, display housing, and desk housing. The display housing and desk housing are movable relative to the canopy housing between a stowed position where the desk housing and display housing are substantially parallel to the canopy housing, and a deployed position where the display housing and the desk housing are angled relative to one another to define a work space.
