A growing challenge: Rising mental health needs
Every person deserves the right to care and support, enabling them to thrive throughout their life. But the systems for care and wellbeing are unable to keep up with the pace of support that’s needed.
Healthcare services are faced with supporting more patients with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), rising mental health needs, and growing resource strains across departments and services.
In England:
Approximately 1.7 million children have SEND
152% increase in referral to children’s mental health services between 2019 and 2025
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
Cubbie: A standardised sensory regulation solution for healthcare
We support NHS trusts and healthcare services address rising sensory, behavioural, and mental health needs with Cubbie, a personalised sensory regulation solution with OT-designed programmes.

Success stories
Turing House School
Feedback from students using Cubbie has been excellent. They can now regulate and reset before school, coming to classes ready to learn and participate.
Galway University Hospital
Cubbie has been a fantastic addition to the playroom, especially for children with developmental needs. Children are able to settle and feel calm before visits, reducing distress and anxiety.
Cubbie is a quiet space that children and families can access. It is open to all children and families. It is a space that is especially helpful for Autistic children and indeed any child with sensory processing differences. It offers a blank space where the child can choose lighting, auditory and visual input.”

Resources and insights
Sensory rooms: Integration for inclusion
Sensory rooms have become a staple in many schools. They are designed as calming spaces where children can take a break from sensory overload. The intention is always to support. However, as we enhance our understanding of inclusion, it’s essential to ask: is there a way to support regulation without creating separation?
Understanding sensory
processing disorder: A silent struggle
Imagine living in a world where every sound feels like a roar, where the touch of clothing feels like sandpaper on your skin, or where bright lights seem like a constant, unbearable glare. This is the reality for individuals with SPD, a condition that remains largely misunderstood and under-recognised.
The lifelong impact of sensory
processing disorder: From childhood to adulthood
Explore the deeper impacts of SPD on individuals as they transition from childhood into adolescence and adulthood. Understanding the statistics and long-term effects can help in creating more effective support systems and raising awareness about this often-overlooked condition.
