Sensory Room Design

FAQ

Are sensory rooms good for ADHD?

For some people with ADHD, a calm, controllable sensory room can help with self-regulation, focus or de-escalation. A space that lets someone reduce or change sensory input on their own terms can offer a useful reset during an overwhelming or under-stimulating day.

The evidence is mixed and the effect depends on the individual and on how the room is designed and used. A sensory room should be specified around the specific people who will use it, rather than assumed to help everyone with ADHD in the same way.
