An enclosed space gives a child a clear boundary between their quiet corner and the room around them. For some autistic children and children with special educational needs (SEN), a familiar place with fewer visual distractions can make a sensory break feel more predictable. It is somewhere they can choose to pause, read or sit quietly, not a treatment or a promise of a particular outcome.
The Portable Sensory Den is an enclosed pop-up space with a removable themed jacket. It is not soundproof, and each child will have their own preferences for light and sound. Speakers are not included.
The pop-up frame folds into a padded backpack, so the same den can come to school sensory breaks, a relative's house or a holiday stay. Read our guide to sensory tents for autistic children for practical choosing and set-up considerations.
