An excellent post, once again full of practical ideas. Many of these, I feel, could also be implemented within the classroom environment if a dedicated room (often due to the limitations of space) is not available. Self-regulation is a skill which often needs to be modelled and taught and absolutely can benefit all children.
The limitations of space is always a tricky one for mainstream settings but you're right. Most of these examples, and others I haven't covered, are available in smaller sizes which can be placed into a corner of a classroom.
It took me teaching in a specialist provision until I realised that self-regulation is something that has to be modelled and taught. Once I had that realisation and began teaching it. My class became an absolute dream to teach!
Five great examples of sensory rooms, Kieran. Something I’d love to see more of in traditional education settings.

Thank you for the feedback Laura 😊
