A Space to Reset and Recharge

Our goal was to create an inclusive space where students with all needs can regulate and refocus during the school day. The tools and equipment that we purchased from Fun and Function have been pivotal in helping us achieve this goal, as these tools help provide different types of sensory input depending on need.

The new calming corner has been a HUGE success so far! We have had several students use it, especially during the first few weeks of school... I have had an enormous amount of positive feedback from students, coworkers and parents... I am very happy with the way the corner turned out! I would not do anything differently.

How to Set Up an Effective Classroom Corner for Sensory Regulation

Your Calming Questions, Answered

What is the purpose of a calming corner?

A calming corner is a dedicated sensory space within a room that helps children manage emotions, relax and improve focus.

What should I include in a calming corner?

A calming corner typically includes calming tools, soft seating and visual supports. Based on your space and needs, you may want to add tactile supports, calming lights or floor/wall sensory elements.

How is it different from a timeout space?

A calming corner is not meant to be used for punishment. It’s a supportive space children can access when they feel overwhelmed or need a break.

Do calming corners work for all students?

Absolutely! Calming corners support all students, including those with special needs, sensory challenges, anxiety or difficulty focusing.

How much space do I need for a calming corner?

You can build a calming corner in almost any space. Even a small area with a few sensory tools can be effective in bringing calm and focus.

Can calming corners be used outside of classrooms?

Sure! Calming corners can be created in waiting rooms, homes, hospitals, libraries and other sensory-friendly spaces.
