At the Welcome Center Space, S3 turns research into real-world impact by providing sensory supports that meet students where they are. This cozy, calming space features bean bag chairs and pillows, lighting and visuals, tactile tools, and a home-like feel that helps students feel safe, supported, and ready to engage while they await services. This space offers a peaceful environment that can ease stress, support regulation, and make transitions or pre-appointment moments more comfortable. By blending comfort with purpose, the space reflects what research has shown—soft, multi-sensory environments help with focus and learning, inclusive spaces encourage students to stay and thrive, and sensory accommodations remove barriers so everyone can participate fully.
