I’m autistic and I need something like this, I’ve made one and I’ve been doing way much better now so thanks!

[@HarklaFamily]

That's so great to hear!!!

I unintentionally made my son a "sensory corner" this summer. I am so glad I came across your channel today because I am learning how to help my sensory seeking son. Thank you! ❤ this is awesome

[@HarklaFamily]

Awesome!!!!!

I love OTs and OTAs. I love sensory gyms and have been in them as a kid. I had lots of OT, OT, and speech therapy. I am actually in college right now to become an OTA. I want to help inspire kids and show them that things will get better. Great video here. I have a sensory corner in my bedroom and I have fidget toys and things to look at in that corner. My lycra swing and mini-trampoline are elsewhere.

That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I want to specially thank Harkla team for putting this together. I had seen it as an eye enlightener and now I have an idea of how to calm myself and even younger ones whenever stressed. Thanks once again. Regards.

We LOVE hearing that, thank you Mercy!

I have a sensory space downstairs in my basement. I have a few swings, a sensory ben, a few drawers of fidgets and games. Some therapy balls, and a few other things. The only problem is that I can’t see light, so I don’t have any sort of lighting. Also, I’m trying to make a strict schedule for myself to be in it for half the time my mom is at work. I’m basically stuck inside the house and can’t get out that much because of my physical disability. I can cook using a microwave and airfryer, and do basic daily living skills. But after I get done doing my personal self care skills, I need to do other things to keep me from being bored and overwhelmed. So we created a sensory space, but I feel like I need to be in it for more hours than what I already am.

any tips on how to make this interior-design friendly? Im an adult on the spectrum and would like a sensory corner, but I also really like a cohesive look to my space. I want it to blend in. Any tips for adult-friendly designs?

[@HarklaFamily]

Hey! I think since interior design is so subjective and personal, you'd have to just search for what you see as visabily pleasing when it comes to your own style! To do this, you may have to DIY some of the sensory tools you want in your corner or search a bit harder. Bean bags can look nice. If you like the color blue, our sensory swing looks pretty good! harkla.co/products/compression-sensory-swing

Great video! I don’t see the link for the social story/visuals you suggested here to intro the space to our kids. Thanks 🙏🏼

İ like you. 🎉🎉🎉thank you for your information

How would you introduce a calming corner to a 2 year old toddler?

[@HarklaFamily]

Build it with them! Model how to use it! Use it with them! A 2 year old does not have the brain function yet to independently use something like this, so it will take you doing it with them much of the time. You could also introduce it as a "quiet corner" for quiet time throughout the day.

[@annetteslife]

Is this good for adults living with a sensory disorder?

[@HarklaFamily]

It could be!!!!

[@annetteslife]
