My organisation

At Sensory ALL, we are dedicated to creating inclusive experiences that support neurodivergent individuals, particularly children, who struggle with sensory, emotional, and behavioral regulation. This often limits their ability to fully engage, learn, and participate in diverse environments. Our innovative, research-backed solution-KOKO POD, a modular and space-saving sensory solution—provide structured, intentional support to enhance sensory regulation, reduce caregiver stress, and promote independence, confidence, and well-being. In the past, we have successfully designed and implemented sensory experience zones for neurodivergent individuals in public spaces, festivals, corporate environments, and schools, ensuring accessibility and comfort in diverse settings. We are currently in the pre-seed R&D stage for KOKO PODS, focusing on refining our product to address diverse sensory needs effectively. We are eager to collaborate with interested stakeholders, including educators, healthcare professionals, researchers, and investors, to co-create inclusive environments and make a meaningful impact in the lives of neurodivergent individuals and their communities.
