Sector · Public & Private Schools
A calm-down room, without the room.
Most schools don't have a spare room to give — but they do have a corner. A SensPod turns that corner into a regulation space students choose for themselves, before the hard moment rather than after it.
Start with the problem, not the size
Across a school building, it is almost always one of these six.
Arrival
Separation and the first hour
The first twenty minutes decide the whole morning. A quiet place to land makes the goodbye survivable.
Transitions
Moving from one thing to the next
Class to class, indoor to outdoor, play to lunch — the changeovers are where the day falls apart.
Focus
Time-on-task collapses
Some students can do the work, but not in a room with twenty-five other people in it.
Escalation
The build-up before the incident
Staff can almost always see it coming. What they lack is somewhere to send a student that isn't a punishment.
Anxiety
Somewhere that isn't the washroom
Older students take their five minutes in the only room with a door that locks. Give them a better option.
Staff
Educators need it too
Nobody co-regulates a room of thirty on empty. Five minutes changes the afternoon.
One pod, three age bands
The pod is the same. The furniture is not.
A three-year-old should not be climbing onto adult furniture to calm down.
- Early Years, ages 3–6Low, stable seating and a child-height worktop. Room to sit on the floor, which is where small children actually regulate.
- Elementary, ages 6–11Specify the height-adjustable worktop — the same pod then serves Grade 1 and Grade 6 without replacement.
- Secondary, ages 12–18Standard desk height and adult-scale seating. At this age it is a study space as much as a calm one.
- Everything within reachSensory tools, scents and TouchPad reachable from a seated position, at every scale.
- Full glass front — you always see themSupervision is never interrupted. In a school setting that is a requirement, not a feature.
Where schools usually land
Three starting points — the need decides which.
FM SELFI
44 × 37 × 88″ · 1 person
The classroom-corner answer. It takes almost no floor area, so it goes in a room that is already full.
FM ME
88 × 37 × 88″ · 1 person
A real desk at adjustable height — the choice when the pod does focus work as much as regulation.
FM WE
88 × 37 × 88″ · 2 people
A student and an adult, face to face. For check-ins, reading groups and any conversation that needs a closed door.
Every sector asks a different question
Same pod. Different need, different size, different furniture.
Ages 3–18
Public & Private Schools
Regulation, focus and fewer removals from class — from kindergarten through Grade 12.
You are here.All ages
Special Education Programs
Escalation, shutdown, sensory processing. Furniture matched to the individual student, not the average one.
Clinical
Private Clinics & Therapy Centres
A repeatable sensory setting for sessions. Soft seating for longer stays, adult or child scale.
Paediatric & acute
Hospitals & Pediatric Units
Procedure anxiety, long waits, and families with nowhere to go. Wipeable surfaces, full sight lines.
All ages
Libraries & Community Centres
Public space that works for everyone — including the people it currently doesn't.
Most schools don't know their size. They know which class it is.
Our discovery questionnaire maps which students need it, when the hard moments happen, who supervises, and where a pod could realistically live — then turns that into a recommendation for size, quantity, placement and furniture heights across your building.
