Meet Marcey Murray: Dual-Degreed Multi-Sensory Learning Specialist
Bridging classroom practice and sensory science to help children regulate emotions, sustain focus, and actively engage in learning
Marcey Murray, M.S., B.S., NBCT, AAMSE, CAS
With over 30 years of experience in education and sensory learning, Marcey Murray has dedicated her career to understanding and supporting neurodivergent children in their learning journeys.
Marcey bridges classroom practice and sensory science to help children regulate their nervous system and emotions, sustain focus, and engage in purposeful learning. Her work draws from research-based methods and hands-on design principles that create measurable improvements in self-regulation and learning outcomes.
Her unique approach combines multi-sensory educational methodologies with cutting-edge sensory regulation techniques, creating individualized programs that address each child's specific needs and learning style.
The development of the Zen Den Multi-Sensory Program was inspired by Marcey's years of experience as a special education teacher and by her personal journey of having a son on the autism spectrum. Continually watching kids in school struggle to remain calm and seated, and taking cues from her own son's challenges, she discovered what multi-sensory strategies worked to help regulate the nervous system and overcome the obstacles in the classroom. Guided by her son's needs, they discovered together, what multi-sensory strategies worked to help regulate his nervous system. Through the years of hard work, extensive sensory modulation and a great team of therapists, teachers, and doctors, Marcey's son is now able to regulate independently and is a thriving sophomore at the University of Florida.
