Creating Supportive Environments
Recommendations are individualized and may address:
Physical accessibility and ease of movement
Sensory systems input
Organization and environmental structure
Daily routines and activity flow
Communication supports
Safety considerations
Self-regulation and calming spaces
Independence in self-care, learning, play, and daily activities
Through conversation & specific questions, I learn about the individual’s goals, routines, strengths, and challenges. Then through observation and discussion, we identify environmental barriers and opportunities for improvement.
Recommendations may include:
Furniture arrangement and room layout
Sensory-friendly modifications
Adaptive equipment recommendations
Organization systems
Visual supports and schedules
Home, school, or community environmental modifications
Strategies that promote independence and participation
