Sensory Space offers fun, interactive online sensory activities specifically designed to support the development of students with special educational needs through sensory exploration, engagement, and cause and effect learning.
We believe every learner should have the chance to explore, connect, and grow in ways that are meaningful and accessible. For students with special educational needs, sensory experiences can unlock confidence, communication, and understanding. Sensory Space provides a safe, engaging environment where exploration leads to real progress, creating moments of connection and discovery that truly support individual development.
Sensory Space offers a wide range of interactive activities for learners with special educational needs, each providing engaging visual and sound feedback through press-and-hold, timed, and movement-based interactions. These experiences help build key developmental skills, including focus, cause and effect understanding, motor control, and independence, while encouraging exploration in a calm, supportive environment.
Sensory Space activities are grouped into categories that support learners at different stages of development through interactive, sensory-rich experiences. Each category helps build essential skills such as attention, anticipation, decision-making, and independent discovery. By exploring cause and effect in varied ways, from press-and-hold to movement-based interaction, learners can develop confidence, curiosity, and greater control over their learning journey.
Create an immersive sensory environment with customisable colour palettes and AI-generated soundtracks. Choose from calming tones or bold, engaging colours to match each learner’s needs. The music, crafted using advanced AI technology, features a variety of soundscapes, from gentle nature harmonies to magical fantasy tones, offering a rich, responsive sensory experience that supports focus, relaxation, and interaction.
Teachers can integrate Sensory Space activities into HelpKidzLearn’s Playlists feature to curate personalised collections of activities. This allows for tailored learning journeys that combine sensory exploration, cause and effect activities, and interactive experiences into one convenient playlist, meeting the unique needs of every learner.
Accessibility is at the heart of Sensory Space. Powered by the Inclusive Game Container (IGC), every element is designed to ensure all learners can engage meaningfully, regardless of their access needs. Sensory Space supports touch, switch, mouse, and eye gaze devices. This ensures every learner can engage in ways that suit their individual needs. Sensory Space is fully accessible online via Windows, Mac, or Chromebook, and also works seamlessly on iPads, making it easy to integrate into any learning environment.
