Sensotec: Flexible Sensory Equipment – Small Footprint, Big Impact
The need for sensory spaces in our schools is growing fast, and for good reason. Today’s classrooms are more diverse than ever, and students face a range of sensory, emotional, and developmental needs. Whether for students with neurodivergent conditions or simply those needing a break during the day, the right tools can make a big difference. Sensory spaces help students feel calmer, more focused, and ready to learn. Having the right resources on hand means being able to respond quickly and effectively to different needs.
How Can Schools Create Flexible Sensory Spaces?
Not every school has space or resources for a dedicated sensory room- and that’s okay!
With smart solutions and portable sensory equipment, Sensotec gives you the benefits of multisensory therapy in any setting, whether in the classroom, common spaces, or a corner of the library.
Sensotec’s equipment is designed to move, adapt, and support students exactly where and when they need it most. This means equipment that is:
Portable: easy to move between spaces as needed.
Budget-friendly: a cost-effective way of combining multiple sensory items.
Low maintenance: easy to clean and maintain.
Space-saving: maximising room for other activities.
Person-centred: encouraging positive communication, development and outcomes.
What Are the Best Portable Sensory Resources for Schools?
Firstly, it’s important to identify your key objectives. It could be a combination of the following:
Anxiety and stress relief: to help students feel safe, calm, and focused.
Relaxation: by triggering calming neurochemicals or ‘happy hormones’ in the brain.
Comfort and distraction: redirecting attention from stress or overwhelm.
Sensory integration: allowing students to self-regulate and learn at their own pace.
Skill building: to develop social, motor, and communication skills.
Independence: giving students control over their emotions and environment.
