Special Needs Learning Spaces Enhanced Through Interactive Projection Technology
Did you know interactive projection can be used to improve special needs learning environments? The EMBRACE initiative from Sphere Audio Video does just that, with its Anchor program designed to enhance sensory stimulation.
As a parent or educator, one of the most important things you can do is create an environment where special needs learners feel safe, supported, and empowered. But we all know that’s easier said than done. Every learner has different needs, and finding the right tools to support their growth can be challenging.
What if there was a way to make learning and therapy more engaging, inclusive, and effective? Well, thanks to advancements in immersive technology, there’s now a powerful way to transform how we support neurodiverse learners: immersive multisensory environments.
Enter Sphere Audio Video and their groundbreaking EMBRACE initiative—a revolutionary experience that’s bringing multi-sensory, interactive technology to learners of all abilities. With their Anchor program as part of the EMBRACE ecosystem, Sphere Audio Video is making it easier than ever to create supportive, calming, and engaging spaces for neurodiverse children, teens, and adults, including those with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder (SPD), and emotional dysregulation.
Why Sensory Environments Matter for Special Needs Learners
If you’ve ever worked with children who struggle with sensory overload, you know how important it is to create an environment that’s adjusted to their needs. According to the National Autistic Society, creating supportive sensory environments can dramatically reduce anxiety and improve engagement for learners with autism and other sensory challenges. But creating these environments can be tricky without the right tools.
This is where immersive technology, like in the EMBRACE ecosystem, comes in. By using light, sound, and projection technology, Anchor by Sphere offers an interactive and calming space that’s adaptable for every individual. It’s a safe space where learners can regulate their emotions, engage with their surroundings, and develop important skills—without feeling overwhelmed.
What Makes the EMBRACE System So Special?
The EMBRACE system isn’t just another piece of technology—it’s a multi-sensory experience designed to respond to movement, creating a dynamic learning environment that adapts to each individual’s needs. Whether you’re working in a classroom, therapy clinic, or even at home, Anchor by Sphere can be used to:
- Calm a child after sensory overload
- Support emotional regulation and anxiety management
- Encourage non-verbal learners to engage through interactive technology
- Develop motor skills, speech, and coordination
- Assist in executive function, like planning and decision-making
It’s not just about flashing lights or sound—it’s about providing a customizable, empathetic support system that addresses real needs in real time. Whether you’re uploading calming music, photos from home, or specific lesson plans, you can design each session to fit the learner’s unique needs.
How Anchor by Sphere Empowers Educators and Parents
One of the biggest benefits of Anchor is its flexibility. It’s built to be adaptable—whether you need to use it on floors, walls, tables, or even wheelchair trays. You can set it up in ways that work best for your space and your students. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to use. There’s no need for advanced technical skills. The system is controlled remotely, meaning caregivers, parents, and educators can quickly set it up and start using it without stress.
For educators, it’s a game changer. Anchor by Sphere includes games, exercises, and guided activities that help learners with everything from speech and language development to emotional recognition. You can even use it to help learners improve visual tracking and engage in collaborative play—all in a way that feels fun, interactive, and motivating.

At Sphere Audio Video, the mission is simple: to embrace every person with tools that support their growth, healing, and joy. The EMBRACE initiative and Anchor provide exactly that, by creating a safe space where learners of all abilities can thrive—whether they are in a classroom, therapy session, or at home.
