The Cubbie at Listowel Library
The Cubbie Sensory Hub offers a sensory solution for people with autism, ADHD and other sensory processing disorders (SPD) and anxiety.
The Cubbie delivers a sensory programme specific to a person's unique sensory needs, helping them regulate and better participate in school, work, and play activities. The Cubbie is easy to use, allowing each user to adjust LED lighting, sounds and visual effects to match their needs.
In 2020 Cubbie won a Microsoft for Startups sponsored Diversity in Tech Disability Inclusion Award.
Listowel Library is delighted to announce that the Cubbie Sensory Hub has recently been upgraded. The screen is now larger, the graphics clearer and there is a new selection of colours, visuals, videos and music to choose from. Staff will be delighted to show you the new improved Cubbie. There is a new feature to choose how you feel before you use the Cubbie which pre-selects a programme for you based on the chosen emotion. After each session, you will be asked for feedback so that Cubbie knows if the programme that was chosen was appropriate.
