Sensory Rooms for Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder, also known as ASD or just autism, can look different in every person who has it. Therefore, when creating sensory rooms for autism, it’s important to remember that the signs, behaviours and limitations of autism vary between individuals. You can learn more about common characteristics of autism in our previous blog post.

Sensory Room Ideas for Autism

If you’re creating a public or shared space, a few criteria can ensure that it is accessible and effective for as many users as possible. Soft, sensory lighting, interactive equipment and control over their environment can make a huge difference for autistic people.

Is the room intended as a space to prevent a meltdown (or de-escalate after one has occurred) or to engage its users and promote important communication and social skills? Many sensory rooms for autism are multipurpose, and so the equipment in the room should be adaptable.
