The growing challenge: SEND, inclusion, and wellbeing
An estimated one in seven people are neurodivergent. Yet a significant gap still remains between the early support individuals need to thrive, and the support systems currently in place.
This is not just a challenge for educational services; it’s a community problem. The effects of unmet special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) do not stay within one service; they ripple through health, social care, policing, leisure, and the workplace. A child unsupported in their early years of education becomes a young person on a healthcare waiting list and eventually an adult in a workplace setting that wasn’t designed with them in mind.
The challenges services are facing:
-
Schools must prioritise early intervention, remove barriers to learning, and build on existing practice to become wholly inclusive for all pupils.
-
Schools now need to focus on establishing a clearer tiered model of support regardless of whether a child has a formal diagnosis of SEND.
-
An increase in the number of people waiting for ADHD and autism assessments.
-
Referrals to children’s mental health services have doubled between 2019 and 2025.
-
Fragmented services across education, healthcare, and social care.
In England:
Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) have more than doubled since 2014
1 in 5 young people aged 8-18 have a mental health condition
15% increase in waiting times for autism assessments compared with the previous year
Only 36% of employers have a neurodiversity policy

Cubbie: An OT-led, personalised, and scalable sensory regulation platform
Cubbie is an early-intervention sensory-regulation solution that enables organisations to support more people sooner, minimise disruption, and keep individuals engaged in everyday life.

Designed as a blank canvas, Cubbie uses Sensory Portraits® and targeted support to adapt to an individual’s unique sensory needs, creating an experience that’s just for them. It can be used before, during, and after dysregulation, meaning individuals can be back to their day within 15 minutes.

Success stories
Lime Wood Primary School
Cubbie has been a fantastic installation and has already made a significant impact on the wellbeing and inclusion support we provide for our pupils. The personalised sensory wellbeing solution has created a safe, calming, and engaging space where children can self-regulate, reset, and return to learning ready to participate positively in the classroom.
Mayo Libraries
Cubbie has been a wonderful addition to our libraries. We have seen an increase in footfall for all ages and are working more closely than ever with local schools. It's an incredible piece of technology that is very easy to use. It's helping autistic and anxious people feel calm in less than 15 minutes. Parents of special needs children are more confident to visit the library now as they feel more welcome.
The Cubbie sensory project addresses a critical gap in equitable access to sensory interventions where traditional sensory rooms are not feasible, improving accessibility and inclusivity within inpatient environments. This independent access to tailored sensory interventions 24-hours a day, promotes autonomy, self-management, and therapeutic engagement."

Resources and insights
An independent impact analysis from the University of Galway
We partnered with the University of Galway to independently analyse how users engage with Cubbie, and how their emotional states shift before and after each session. The research uncovered four key findings, including that 75% of Cubbie users are regulated by their sixth session.
The alarming shift: Sensory rooms are becoming exclusion spaces
Without OT expertise, sensory rooms often become holding spaces rather than regulation tools. See how Cubbie's OT-led approach helps pupils self-regulate in 10 minutes and supports schools navigating the 2026 SEND reforms.
