A Magical Sensory Space Where Every Child Feels Safe & Free
In the heart of New York, Sensory Island provides a safe and joyful space for
neurodivergent children to be seen, celebrated, and supported.
Coming End Of May 2026: A Regulation-First, Sensory-Friendly Space in New York
Sensory Island is opening at the end of May 2026 as a thoughtfully designed, sensory-friendly space in New York for neurodivergent and sensory-sensitive children, including children with autism and sensory processing needs.
Our mission is to create a calm, predictable, and welcoming environment where children can engage in sensory play, support regulation, build confidence, and feel safe.
We welcome kids of all abilities to explore play, find calm, and just be themselves
Why Sensory Island?
Sensory Island was created by a mother who walks the same road many parents are on. After her son’s autism diagnosis, Dr. Ralu Onubogu saw firsthand how hard it was to find a place that truly understood neurodivergent children. So she built one.
A place where stimming is celebrated, meltdowns are met with kindness, every child is seen for who they are, not what they’re “missing.”
Sensory Island isn’t just a center, it is a haven, a home, a movement.
