Smart space planning for learn and play – in an Autism therapy center
This Autism therapy center required clever space planning to cater to the different needs of their children and team, without breaking the bank.
An Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) therapy center for children with Autism, Early Autism Project Malaysia needed various activity zones with versatile furniture for their children to learn and play in, as well as a comfortable, inspiring workspace for their staff. See how our team addressed the center’s needs and transformed the space into a fun and conducive environment for both learning and playing.
A safe and conducive area for children
A spot where you can be anybody
Let your students’ imagination go wild with this easy roleplay corner. Simply hang up a TOFTBYN mirror and place a KROKIG clothes stand with some fun costumes beside it. Snow White, a fireman, who do you want to be?
Host tea parties, any time
Set up a cook-and-eat play area for budding master chefs with DUKTIG play kitchens. LÖVA bed canopies are not just for the bedroom, install them to better define an area and to create a peaceful atmosphere.
Hide in here for an adventure
Who doesn’t like a secret hideout? HÖVLIG children’s tent provides a sheltered nook for the little ones to hide, rest and play. It’s easy to assemble and just as easy to fold up when playtime is over.
An inspiring workspace for teachers
Let the ideas flow
An inspiring meeting room encourages a better flow of ideas. Our LOBERGET/MALSKÄR chair is not just pleasant to the eye, its safety castors have a pressure-sensitive brake mechanism that keeps the chair in place when you stand up, and releases automatically when you sit down.
An open workspace for teachers
Using shared desks encourages discussions and collaboration. Natural and warm colors such as wood and white go well together to create a relaxing atmosphere.
For quick chats or long discussions
Invite nature into this welcoming discussion nook with NILSOVE armchairs with chair pads that are handwoven with rattan and sturdy bamboo. Use KALLAX shelving unit as a room divider and easy storage for both sides of the room.
Cozy and space-saving pantry
Small pantry? No problem. With the right solutions, you can create a cozy space with enough seating and storage for everyone. Here, we added NORDVIKEN bar stools to the kitchen counter for additional seating space.
Storage you can sit on
Maximize your space with a METOD cabinet that is not just good for storage, but safe to be seated on too. Line up some vibrant colored cushions on it to add fun vibes to the room.
Pleasant looking nook
Start a different conversation in this corner. Make use of wall space to show off your favourite items using MÅLERÅS picture ledges and KNOPPÄNG picture frames. FEJKA artificial plants are a great way to add greenery to the room without the need for a green thumb.
Versatile classroom furniture
Be it for study lessons or physical play, our robust and lightweight MAMMUT children's furniture range makes it easy to move things around - so you can utilize the space for different purposes.
Easy one-to-one sessions
A set of MELLTORP/ADDE table and chairs is all you need to create room for one-to-one sessions. To create a more casual vibe, add TROFAST storage combinations and throw in some cushions to serve both as a bench seat and storage.
Create a green oasis on the patio
Need a breath of fresh air? ASKHOLMEN dining sets are perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors. Made from durable, sustainably sourced acacia, both tables and chairs can be easily folded up and stashed away to save space.
