The Sensory Sanctuary Guide: Creating a Home Where Your Child's Nervous System Can Rest

Simple environmental tweaks that help sensitive and neurodivergent kids feel calm, focused, and secure

For sensory-sensitive kids, home environment isn't just about comfort—it's about survival. The wrong lighting, sounds, or textures can send their nervous system into overdrive. But small, strategic changes can transform your space into a regulation sanctuary.

This guide shows you how to:

• Identify your child's unique sensory triggers and supports

• Create calming spaces without expensive renovations

• Design bedrooms that actually promote sleep

• Build in movement and heavy work opportunities

Whether your child is autistic, has ADHD, or is simply sensitive, these evidence-based strategies help their nervous system find its sweet spot.
