Meet Steven!

My name is Steven Pettey and I have worked LCSRA Summer Day Camp since the summer of 2014. In my years at summer camp I have had the opportunity to work up from a counselor to a group leader then finally a coordinator. Each summer, camp gives me the opportunity to create lifelong memories, everlasting friendships and the opportunities to learn from experiences working with a population I am very passionate about. Each summer has presented me with different challenges which have given me the opportunity to grow and learn. Every year I look forward to those 7+ weeks as a chance to work hard, learn from experiences and most importantly have fun.

To serve the growing need of having a safe space for children and adults to destress and regulate their emotions, Lily Cache Special Recreation Association (LCSRA) has set a goal of $75,000 for the construction of a sensory room at the Annerino Community Center in Bolingbrook. What is a sensory room? A Sensory Room is a specially designed room which combines a range of stimuli to help individuals develop and engage their senses. These can include lights, colors, sounds, sensory soft play objects, aromas all within a safe environment that allows the person using it to explore and interact without risk. Benefits of a sensory room: • Reduces stress, anxiety and pain. • De-escalates heightened emotions or behaviors. • Encourages increased concentration, new ways of learning, motor development, cognitive development, and language skills. • Improves alertness, mobilization, creativity, communication and socialization. Who can benefit from a sensory room? Individuals with varying sensory disorders such as autism benefit greatly from a sensory room experience. This is what is commonly associated with a sensory room. Another population that can benefit greatly are those who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The addition of a sensory room would allow LCSRA to serve a larger segment of the population. Help support us in the cause. Donations to the LCSRA Sensory Room Campaign can be made here: www.lcsrasensoryroomcampaign.org 13
