Do you want to set up a sensory room or area for your autism and special education students? Are you looking for ideas for sensory rooms or areas that you can turn into a sensory experience? If so, this is the perfect podcast episode for you! Today, me and Becky are sharing our best ideas for how you can make a sensory area, or room in your school, classroom, and even at home. Becky Lyddon is the founder of Sensory Spectacle and she agreed to put together a 6 episode sensory series on my podcast. So make sure you tune in and listen to each of the episodes to learn all things sensory.

What Are We Talking About?

In this podcast episode, we are talking all about;

  • What is a sensory room?
  • Does it have to be a whole room?
  • How can you create a sensory room or area on a budget?
  • What are some benefits of a sensory room or area?
  • How can you create a sensory room or area at home?
  • Becky’s 5 must-haves.
  • How to use these rooms/areas in schools.
  • Design process factors; colors, themes, sounds.
  • I am so excited to be able to work with Becky to bring you a whole series of sensory podcast episodes. We actually have 6 podcast episodes planned for you in this series, and they are;

    1. Sensory and Behavior
    2. Sensory Profiles
    3. Sensory Tips and Activities to Try
