Blog > Client Spotlights Sensory Spaces That Support Holistic Wellbeing 6 min read Read about the widespread success of our sensory support. Supporting behavioural needs is about more than managing routines. It is about discovering what truly helps an individual thrive, celebrating their successes, and building an environment that is tailored specifically to them. Our Positive Behaviour Support approach focuses on client activities and Support Worker wellbeing to empower our complex care clients to achieve their goals, ensuring they have the best quality of life. A key part of this is identifying what works across our care packages, celebrating our Support Workers and clients, and replicating these successful strategies across other packages. A brilliant example of this is our use of sensory spaces across different packages, which help with emotional regulation and focus, reducing overstimulation by providing a comforting environment to unwind. Of course, no sensory room is one-size-fits-all: every environment has been carefully designed around each individual’s preferences. Co-Production Of Care: Designing SBO’s Space Informed by a sensory assessment for SBO undertaken with our PBS Lead, her sensory lead in the community, and her Learning Disability Nurse, we began to build a clear picture of what she would like in a sensory space. In March 2026, her Support Workers began to implement a sensory corner under their collective guidance. Within the space, she has enjoyed a variety of activities, from playing with her toy dog Hector and relaxing in her chair, to playing with glowsticks and even playing the tuba! As a result, SBO has been feeling happy in the space, even saying, “I need sensory time” and taking herself to the space to put her fish light on. Her sensory space is constantly expanding, with SBO and her support team working to build a sensory garden. The positive impact of her sensory space has positively impacted her engagement in activities such as trips to the arcade, local park and engaging in her passion for paramedics by taking part in some training led by Garry Pamment, an experienced Staff Responder.

Transitional Care: Adapting a Sensory Room To A New Home! Moving home can be a significant change, particularly for individuals who rely on familiar environments and routines. When one of our clients transitioned into a more accessible bungalow, our PBS Lead developed a social story to help her understand and prepare for the move. Shared with her wider support team, the story reassured her that her belongings, including her sensory items, would be making the journey with her. Throughout the process, her support team worked closely alongside her to carefully recreate her sensory space in her new home. Her stim toys, textured peanut ball, and timer for transitions were all thoughtfully repositioned. The sensory room remains a central part of her daily life, offering space for leisure, relaxation, and self-soothing whenever she needs to regulate her emotions. By adapting her sensory space to new surroundings, her team was able to provide a consistent source of comfort during a time of change, helping her settle into her new home while continuing to benefit from a personalised environment built around her needs.
