Sensory Room Planner is an online resource dedicated to helping parents, schools, and professionals design effective sensory environments for autistic children and adults.

We provide practical guidance, planning tools, and curated product recommendations to support the creation of sensory rooms that meet a wide range of sensory needs. Our resources are designed to help reduce sensory overload, encourage self-regulation, and create calm, supportive spaces where individuals can feel safe and comfortable.

Our content is tailored specifically with autism in mind. We recognise that sensory processing differences can vary greatly from person to person, so we focus on adaptable, flexible approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you are setting up a sensory room in a school, home, or specialist setting, we aim to make the process clear, accessible, and achievable.

We also provide educational guides to help users understand the purpose of different sensory tools and how they can be used effectively. This includes information on lighting, tactile equipment, movement-based items, and calming features that can support emotional regulation and focus.

Sensory Room Planner is suitable for:

• Parents and caregivers of autistic individuals
• SEN schools and educational settings
• Therapists and professionals working with autism
• Organisations looking to create inclusive, sensory-friendly spaces

Our goal is to make sensory room planning more accessible, informed, and effective, helping to create environments that genuinely support autistic individuals in their daily lives.
