Sensory‑friendly
Sensory‑friendly means designed to reduce sensory overload. It often includes lower noise, softer lighting, and clear structure.
Definition
Sensory‑friendly environments help people stay regulated and comfortable. Small changes such as dimmed lighting or reduced noise can help a lot. Clear signage and predictable routines also support regulation. These changes benefit many people, not just neurodivergent individuals.
