Make room for calm & comfort with a multi-sensory space

As part of SEL, educators recognize the importance of chill zones within classrooms: quiet spaces available to students who need private moments to relax or a “time in” to calm down, without excluding them from the classroom. They’re a key element in creating more inclusive environments that meet the needs of all students.

Whether you’re tight on space or just supporting inclusive practices, this Early Childhood Corner has the just right amount of sensory tools to promote self-regulation and calming.

Create a quiet respite just right for tweens and teens. This Sensory Corner can be incorporated into a classroom or tucked away in a common area as part of universal design to help support SEL and Trauma Informed Care practices.

It doesn’t take a large space to have a big impact. This small room creates an amazing haven with opportunities for multiple sensory input including touch, sights and sounds.

Kids in motion aren’t commotion! Gross motor play areas are important outlets for early childhood and elementary students. To help them “get out the wiggles,” offer opportunities for vestibular (movement), tactile (touch) and proprioceptive (heavy work/ deep touch pressure) input.

This room offers a sensory rich learning environment with opportunities for touch, sight, sound and more. It’s perfect for use with theme-based activities or to support SEL concepts including stress management, communication skills, and social engagement.

This amazing room can become what your students need most. This large space can be controlled to increase or reduce sensory input to help stimulate the senses, foster cause/effect interaction, help promote calm and relaxation and build visual, auditory and communication skills.

Effectively serve different needs in one space with a hybrid approach. This room combines options for gentle movement input to get the wiggles out with deep touch pressure input and visual calmers to help promote optimal self-regulation.

Chill Zones like this serve an important role in Social & Emotional Learning and Trauma Informed Care practices, providing a quiet space for older students who need private moments to relax or take a “time in” to calm down without ever leaving the classroom.
