Low-Sensory Space
During the conference the Caulfeild Room will be available for those who need a low sensory space. Set up by Live Educate Transform Society, the room offers a quiet place for anyone who needs to take time out from conference activities. Low sensory spaces are specially designed environments that welcome everyone – especially neurodivergent folks, including people with ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, anxiety, depression, and other mental health experiences. Created and facilitated by neurodivergent people with lived expertise, these spaces offer reprieve, safety, calm, and comfort in the midst of noise, lights, crowds, and emotion. They make it possible for people to stay, to rest, recharge, regulate then return – rather than leave an event entirely. Inside, you’ll find soft blankets, cozy seating, stuffed animals to cuddle. There are also fidget and stim items to explore, colouring materials to unwind with, and a wide selection of reading material. The Caulfeild Room is available during the conference for anyone who needs to take a short break, ground themselves between activities, or simply be in a peaceful shared space.
