This paper documents two case studies of pupils using the Picturing Sound Multisensory Environment. This cause and effect environment responds to the gestures of users by creating visuals and sounds. Two pupils, one with a severe physical disability (stroke), and one diagnosed as on the Autistic Spectrum (AS), are observed in the environment and comparisons are made between interactions in the multimedia environment against interactions and behaviors in other daily school environments. Results indicate increased periods of physical engagement and social interaction from the case studies. The paper comments on how the environment system has developed and how the system design can be further refined.
