The rising need for SEND support and inclusive environments for all
Everybody should be able to get the support they need to be able to participate and thrive, no matter the environment. Yet the education, healthcare systems, and SEND support frameworks designed to create inclusive environments for all can’t keep up with the demand.
Local authorities are facing a significant overhaul of SEND provision, requiring them to adopt a more strategic and supervisory role across local partnerships. This means enhancing local SEND strategies, strengthening financial oversight, expanding partnership engagement, and preparing for national standards.
In England:
Approximately 1.7 million children have SEND
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

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.
SEND funding reform: what it means for local authorities in 2027
As councils prepare for the biggest SEND overhaul in a decade, early intervention is taking centre stage. See what local authorities need to do before 2027 — and how Cubbie's OT-informed platform is already improving attendance and reducing exclusions across mainstream schools.
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.
Louth County Library
Cubbie’s ability to support sensory regulation removes barriers that might otherwise limit participation, enabling diverse groups to connect, collaborate, and share experiences. Cubbie’s measurable outcomes, such as increased footfall in libraries and enhanced cross-community engagement, provide tangible evidence of its contribution to the revitalisation of areas.
Cubbie has had a significant positive impact on the children in our service since its introduction. It has provided the children with a personal space to calm and regulate their feelings. They are more focused and relaxed after using Cubbie, creating a calm and engaging environment that is enjoyable for everyone."
