Sensory rooms designed for calm, access, and participation

Create a place to pause, reset, and reconnect. Amakeda Ponds plans and curates sensory spaces for schools, workplaces, government settings, and events, shaped around the people who will use them and the space available.

Make room for different needs

A busy classroom, crowded conference, or active workplace can leave people needing a break from the surrounding activity. A thoughtfully planned sensory space offers choices for quieter engagement, movement, and rest.We start with the people and the purpose of the space. From there, we consider layout, lighting, sound, seating, sensory tools, and clear instructions so the design fits its setting.

From an idea to a space with a purpose

Our sensory-room work can include discovery, site assessment, layout and zoning, furnishings and sensory-tool recommendations, wayfinding, and implementation planning. Setup, operating guidance, and staff orientation are included when agreed in the project scope.

Access on screens and in spaces

Our work also includes digital accessibility, UX and content design consulting, coaching, and team training. If your challenge is an unclear digital journey, inaccessible content, or a team that needs practical guidance, there is a place to start.

Our Services

Website Accessibility & UX Audit

Your site should be readable, navigable, and inclusive for everyone, because more than 1 in 4 U.S. adults lives with a disability, and many users benefit from simpler language and clearer structure. Let’s explore your options:

  • Audit your top-performing pages for WCAG 2.1 AA issues (structure, contrast, forms, media, keyboard).

  • Readability check with grade-level targets for clarity.

  • Quick wins + prioritized roadmap.

  • We review findings live with your team (design, dev, content).

  • Pair on fixes and content rewrites, with plain-language patterns and better headings.

  • We remediate copy, components, and patterns for you.

  • Includes color/contrast updates and alt tag strategies.

Why now?
New ADA Title II rule requires state/local governments to meet WCAG 2.1 AA for web and apps by April 2026 (larger entities) or April 2027 (smaller). We’ll get you audit-ready and on track.

Workshops & Team Training

Give your team the playbook to build accessible experiences, without slowing delivery.

  • Topics: plain-language content, forms that convert, accessible components, QA checklists, and “shift-left” governance.
  • Formats: 90-minute clinics, half day, or full day; live or virtual.
  • Outcome: faster reviews, fewer defects, more inclusive journeys (and fewer escalations).

Sensory Room Curation

Create a calm, dignified retreat at conferences, schools, libraries, and workplaces.

  • We handle: site walkthrough, layout, lighting/audio zones, tactile tools, wayfinding, and onsite operations.
  • Design principles: low-stimulation lighting, predictable paths, clear signage, quiet tech, and flexible seating, so guests feel safe and supported yet gently engaged.

AP Consulting has transformed how we think about user experience. Building and organizing our team has improved our products and customer relations.

Corporate Client

The workshops are engaging and insightful. The workshops opened their eyes to how some of their favorite skills could be leveraged in tech—my students loved it!

High School Teacher

Many of our participants are college-bound. Learning about UX as a non-tech role opened their eyes to a host of possibilities and gave many who aren't tech savvy, hope.
