Sounds cool. I would partner with your OT. Your going to need things like kinetic sand, water beads, probably a swing, maybe some hokie stools, but they would know best. Also google sensory gyms in the area and take a tour
Ridiculous
Our OT helped a lot with putting ours together. We have various stations set up- scooters, trampoline, bubbles, sit and spin, body socks, bean table, exercise balls, etc.
We have one in our school and I try to have a sensory area in my classroom....a punching bag is very popular in the school sensory room. Bubble wrap and head phones are popular in my room.
Start with your budget. That will determine what you can do. Our sensory room is homemade weighted blankets, calming jars, texture books, a trampoline I brought from home, and a couple large patio chaise pillows on the ground with diffused light covers on the ceiling. We also have a old Kindle to play music or use as a timer. My budget was obviously not anything to brag about.
YES! I have one in my classroom
I have one in mine!! We have crash pads, a swing, sensory items, and tunnels
I think you should decide if you want an active or calming sensory room. Fun and Function is an amazing resource that can break down sensory items!
That’ll be awesome! I really think those are just as important as the calming rooms
