- Soft seating and comfortable furnishings: These provide a calming and relaxing environment for students.

- Lighting: Sensory rooms may have adjustable lighting, such as dimming lights or coloured lights, to provide a calming and soothing atmosphere.

- Sound: Sound can be used to create a calming atmosphere, and may include music, white noise, or calming sounds such as waterfalls.

- Visual stimuli: These may include projections, bubble tubes, lights, or interactive wall panels to engage the senses.

- Tactile stimuli: These could be textured materials, sensory balls, or fidget toys.

- Movement and balance equipment: Sensory rooms may include equipment such as swings, balance boards, or climbing structures to provide opportunities for movement.

The goal of a sensory room is to provide a safe and calming environment for individuals to regulate their sensory experiences, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall well-being.
