Functional vs. "Pinterest-Perfect": Designing Inclusive and Calming Spaces
Coffee Stained EDU Podcast by Geneva Rodriguez
Episode notes
Skip the "Pinterest-perfect" pressure! Overly cluttered walls and bright decor can trigger sensory overload for neurodivergent learners.
Building on Ep. 50 & 51, this episode breaks down how to design a calm, accessible classroom on a budget. Learn how to optimize traffic flow, set up low-cost re-regulation zones, and save wall space for co-created student work instead of store-bought posters.
