Sensory-Friendly Spaces

Sensory-friendly spaces are specially designed environments that provide a calm, safe area for individuals who may be overwhelmed by sensory input, such as bright lights, loud noises, or busy settings. These spaces aim to reduce sensory overload and help people relax or regain composure, especially those with sensory processing challenges or autism. They typically include soft lighting, comfortable seating, soothing sounds, and sensory tools like fidget toys or weighted blankets. The goal is to support emotional well-being and enable individuals to manage stress or overstimulation effectively.
