MadlySane NeuroNexus Course: Lesson 5: Sensory Strategies & Environment Design.
Your sensory profile shapes how you experience light, sound, touch, and movement. In this lesson, you’ll map your sensitivities and learn to craft environments that soothe, energize, and support your focus.
- Auditory: managing noise and sound.
- Visual: optimizing light and color.
- Tactile: choosing textures and seating.
- Olfactory: moderating smells and air quality.
- Vestibular/Proprioceptive: incorporating movement and posture.
Why Sensory Design Matters
Your surroundings can either support your brain’s flow or overwhelm it. Tailored sensory strategies help you stay calm, alert, and engaged.
Let’s begin by assessing your sensitivity across five key sensory domains.

Lesson Complete!
You’ve mapped your sensory sensitivities. Now design your environment to match:
- High auditory sensitivity: noise-cancelling headphones, white-noise.
- Lighting challenges: dimmable lamps, natural light filters.
- Tactile preferences: soft seating, calming fabrics.
- Strong smells: air purifiers, neutral scents.
- Movement needs: standing desks, fidget tools.
