In preparation

A calm room on an ordinary screen

The parent chooses what the child will see. The child gets sliders for brightness, sound, and motion, including a full stop.

This is not therapy, not a diagnosis, and not a product you can launch or buy. It is a description of a scene we are building.

What it is

  • A short list of motifs: water, a distant train, soft light, slow dots. No open-ended pictures and no talking character.
  • A parent writes what the child likes and what to keep out. A draft stays with the adult until the adult accepts it.
  • Nothing flashes several times a second. Motion can stop. Volume has a ceiling. Reduced-motion settings start the scene still.

What it is not

  • Not a social-skills lesson and not a reading program.
  • Not a headset. The sensory-room evidence we trust is about control of light and sound, not about a device on the face.
  • Not a chat with a model. The child does not type to it and does not hear free-form replies.

The longer explanation

The guide walks through sensory rooms, headset reviews, and why letters and speech are a different question.
