Creating a sensory room isn’t important…
…it’s essential! Sensory rooms are vital for kids, and not just Neurodivergent children. Sensory rooms are meant to build all areas of a child’s sensory system not only to prevent learning challenges, but to support foundational learning elements in the classroom.
Sensory rooms don’t need to be extravagant or expensive. You can start out small and continue to add elements that target your child or student’s specific needs.
They are also wonderful for providing “calmdown” spaces in classrooms or in schools when kids are feeling:
🧘♂️Overloaded
🧘♂️Emotional and can’t self-regulate
🧘♂️Triggered by too much sensory stimuli
🧘♂️Wild, rambunctious, lots of excess energy
To get you started, we have a list of all our sensory room favorites to give you an idea of where to begin. All you need is a small space and focus items that meet the child’s needs.
