Before having access to a reset room, Nicole Souza would have to not only leave her cubicle, but the whole building, and go on a long walk outside whenever she felt overwhelmed in the office. But that all changed when members from the employee experience team reached out to her with an idea in April.
“They first started doing some research on neurodivergent and sensory-inclusive rooms on their own,” says Souza, a supervising editor at education tech solutions provider Curriculum Associates and the co-lead of the company’s neurodivergent ERG, CAInfinity. “Then they asked us to weigh in on things like the color palettes, furniture and accessories the room was going to feature and we got to provide feedback.”
