After 25 years as a teacher and a lifetime spent helping care for my sister with complex disabilities, I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals who require sensory regulation assistance. I understand firsthand how essential a well-designed sensory space can be in fostering calm, focus, and overall well-being.
Sensory spaces can be categorized into three types: Calming, Active, or Hybrid. Everyone has unique sensory needs, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. When planning a sensory room, it’s important to consider who will be using the space, their ages, their sensory preferences, and the available space.
With this in mind, here at Disability Equip Online, we’ve carefully curated three themed sensory spaces, each designed with a specific purpose to enhance well-being:
-
The Calm Cove – A Relaxation Room designed for those who need a peaceful retreat to unwind and self-soothe.
-
The Neuro Nook – A Focus Room created to support active engagement and sensory input for individuals who require movement and stimulation.
-
The Sensory Sanctuary – A Sensory Regulation Room, offering a hybrid option that balances both calming and stimulating elements for comprehensive sensory support.
In our latest catalogue, we provide expert product recommendations tailored to each space, along with insights into the benefits they offer. Our mission is to help you create the perfect sensory environment that meets your needs, whether for a home, school, or therapy setting.
Just like watching a bubble float gracefully through the air—bringing a moment of calm, focus, and joy—we believe the right sensory space can help individuals recharge and reconnect.
Live Your Best Life!
