What’s new?
Would you like to create an outdoor
sensory space, but have no funding?
The outdoor sensory
space in any setting
should be fully inclusive
and provide the same
opportunity for everyone to
explore regardless of their
ability or special need. It
should be a place where
diversity is respected and
valued, enabling children of all abilities to explore their surroundings in a safe child-centred inclusive environment.
Timotay Playscapes have a free funding guide and free inspiration guide to outdoor sensory play spaces and outdoor sensory play equipment.

Specialist furniture supplier
to SEN providers
As long-term specialist
suppliers to SEN providers,
Tough Furniture have an
excellent track record of
designing products that
take into account the
privacy needs of individuals
on the autism spectrum,
and the role they play in lowering distraction and emotional arousal. A recent product addition that can play a key
role in making any SEN classroom more autism friendly
is the SCR Classroom screen. Multiple SCR screens can be linked together in a classroom to form ‘quiet zones’ or ‘safe areas’, and each screen features a coloured sound baffling panel for improved management of noisy spaces.
