Sensory equipment exists.
Sensory storyboards don't.
Schools can buy sensory tools, and wall stickers.
What no one builds is a sensory storyboard that actually understands how kids regulate, with calming colours, visual activities and storytelling adventures.
This is the heart of what we do, at Sensory Signs.
HOW A SENSORY STORYBOARD WORKS
One intentional journey:
Help busy kids to regulate, move, then settle.
Students walk the path step by step. Each prompt is a movement or a mindfulness cue, paced at intervals so a child can refocus, take a brain break, and arrive back ready to learn. We create an immersive storyboard so that your space flows, and every prompt is labelled so staff know exactly what to do.
STEP 1
Regulate
Arrive and settle.
Gentle counting and tracking prompts to bring a busy body back to calm.
Count the butterflies
Follow the handprints
Count the platypuses and fish in the waterfall
STEP 2
Activate
Burn the energy!
Animal movements and wall pushups give busy bodies the energetic green light the body has been asking for.
Follow the Possum Path
Leap like a frog
Jump like a kangaroo
Walk like an emu
Step 3
Calming
Settle to finish.
Breathing clouds and stretching cues land a child back in a ready state.
Inhale · hold · exhale
Spread your wings like a Cockatoo
Stretch like a Snake
Breathe with the Koalas
"I am ready to learn"
Anywhere a child needs to feel calmer.
Custom designed and made for your space, your colours and your brief. From a primary multipurpose room to a hospital corridor or an airport family zone, we design the storyboard your kids actually want to interact and immerse in.
Schools
Sensory rooms, corridors and breakout spaces for Foundation to Year 6.
Clinics & hospitals
Paediatric waiting areas and OT rooms that calm before an appointment.
Airports
Family and sensory zones that turn an overwhelming terminal into a path.
Shopping centres
Quiet rooms and parents' rooms designed for overstimulated little ones.
Every line drawn by a person who understands the child.
Nothing here is generated by AI or pulled from a stock library. Each sensory storyboard is drawn by our own design team to your brief: your room dimensions, your palette, and the prompts your OT or staff actually want in the space.
We design it, fabricate it and install it. One team, accountable from sketch to finished space.
to your brief
Built to sit alongside the work you already do.
A sensory storyboard is an environmental support, not a clinical program. It's designed to complement your school's whole-school wellbeing approach and the regulation strategies your team and treating therapists already use, giving children a consistent, visual prompt to move and regulate across the day.
A movement path through arousal levels
The journey moves a child from a heightened state, through active proprioceptive input, to a calm and ready state. It gives staff a shared, visual way to co-regulate with a child and prompt calming and alerting strategies in the moment.
Designed with arousal in mind
We design to a considered, low-arousal palette and pacing, so the space supports regulation rather than adding to sensory load. Colours, density and prompts are all adjustable to your cohort's sensory profiles.
One environment, every learner
The storyboard is a universal support the whole class can use, while flexible enough to back individual adjustments for students with a Disability Inclusion Profile. No child is singled out to use it.
A standing prompt, not a one-off lesson
Because it lives on the wall, the support is always available, reinforcing your regulation language every day. It backs a promotion and prevention approach rather than waiting for a child to reach crisis.
How it aligns with the frameworks you work within
We design the environment; you bring the pedagogy and clinical judgement. Here's where a storyboard fits.
Sensory storyboards are an environmental wellbeing support, not a medical or therapeutic device, and don't replace individual assessment or advice from a registered occupational therapist or allied health professional. We're happy to design to your OT's recommendations and your school's existing wellbeing plan.
Four steps, one accountable team.
Walkthrough
We visit your space, measure up and listen to how the room is used.
Design to brief
Our team draws a custom sensory storyboard in your colours, with your prompts, at your sizes.
Storyboard & proof
You see the full storyboard mockup across the whole space and approve it before anything is printed.
Fabricate & install
We print to a durable, regulating finish and install it for you.
