The spaces students learn, engage and socialise in can have a powerful impact on regulation, wellbeing, participation and learning.
Our Environment Design Consultation brings an Occupational Therapy lens to your school environment, helping you understand how spaces, routines and systems may be supporting students, and where thoughtful changes could make a difference.
We work alongside your team to identify practical opportunities within the environments you already have, creating a prioritised plan that can be implemented realistically over time.
What we consider.
We look beyond how a space appears to understand how it feels, functions and supports the people using it.
-
Lighting
How natural and artificial lighting may influence comfort, regulation, attention and engagement throughout the school day.
-
Acoustics
How noise levels and sound flow may affect students’ ability to feel settled, focus and participate within different learning environments.
-
Layout & Flow
How movement, access, visibility and transitions through a space can support students and educators throughout the day.
-
Sensory Zoning
How environments can offer different opportunities for calm, focus, movement and sensory input within the spaces available.
-
Furniture & Materials
How furniture, positioning, textures and materials can support the sensory experience and practical ways each space is used.
HIA Build Award – Small Business Commercial Winner
We put the same principles into practice ourselves.
Our purpose-built Broadview studio was designed around how people experience and use the spaces around them.
In 2024, the studio received the Housing Industry Association’s Small Business Commercial Build Award, recognising the thought and intention behind an environment designed to support children, families and therapists.
