Sensory Safe Environment Checklist

Description

A sensory-friendly environment is essential for helping children feel regulated, comfortable, and ready to participate. This Sensory Safe Environment Checklist makes it easy to assess a space and identify sensory barriers that may be impacting a child’s ability to focus, learn, and engage.

This checklist covers key sensory areas, including:

• Auditory – Is the space too loud or overwhelming? Can they hear clearly?
• Visual – Is there too much visual clutter? Is the lighting appropriate?
• Movement – Are there opportunities for movement and flexible seating?
• Tactile – Are sensory tools available? Is the clothing or temperature comfortable?
• Taste & Smell – Are there overwhelming scents or tastes? Are regulating options available?
• Interoception & Human Environment – Do they have access to water, bathroom breaks, and supportive people?

Perfect for: Parents, teachers, and therapists looking to create sensory-friendly spaces that support self-regulation.
