for the child who needs a moment to calm
One audio library for the whole setting, sorted by the needs of the school day, with a named Sound Lead and gentle training for your team. Stories, affirmations and soundscapes, with a classroom selection already chosen for you.
Register your interest and we’ll be in touch with the next steps.
The ones where nothing in the behaviour policy helps, because the child is not being difficult. Their system has simply run out of room.
Not a programme to deliver, a calm you can reach for. Here is what makes the difference.
One library for the whole setting
Every room draws on the same Sound Sanctuary, sorted by the needs of the school day, with a classroom selection already chosen for you.
Low demand, by design
Nothing to perform and nothing to get right. Children listen, and the pressure in the room comes down.
A named Sound Lead
One person holds it in your setting, with gentle training and steady support from us through the term.
Built for neurodivergent children
Built from the ground up for neurodivergent children, not neurotypical content relabelled.
Who it helps
Most calming content asks a child to sit still, close their eyes, follow along and imagine a beach. A dysregulated autistic or ADHD child can do none of that in that moment, and being asked makes it worse.
HushAway® was written from the start for children aged four to ten who feel everything big. Ages beyond that use it too, and so do plenty of the adults in the room.
Settings use it with children experiencing
Sensory profiles differ. Seekers and avoiders need different things, and headphones are not always the answer. The training covers how to tell which is which.
Train your team
One short recorded session in plain language, then four weeks in your own room. One CPD hour, with a certificate on completion. Launching April 2027.

Will not, and cannot, are different children
Only one of them needs a consequence.
Why calm down makes it worse
All three of the usual phrases are demands.
What is actually in the sound
Narration, Solfeggio frequencies, binaural beats, ASMR texture.
Safe listening, and consent
Volume, duration and choice, never a special measure for one child.
The five sound moments
One moment, one track, same time every day. Predictability is the active ingredient, so resist swapping it around.
01
Arrival and separation
Sound already playing before the first coat goes on a peg.
02
Coming in from break
Bodies still at playground volume, given three minutes to come down.
03
Into focused work
Background sound for reading and writing that holds attention without competing for it.
04
The wobble
One child, past listening. A quiet corner, and no instructions at all.
05
Home time handover
A calmer exit, and something parents can carry on at home.
Everything here is evidence informed and honestly framed. HushAway® is a sound therapy informed regulation tool, not a clinical intervention, a treatment or a cure.
Studied at a university
Research with neurodivergent children alongside Dr Gemma Goldenberg at the University of East London.
Shaped by a Circle of Experts
Doctors, psychologists, SEN educators, sound designers and parents, plus the children who test every track.
Children stay anonymous
Always, unless your setting gives specific written permission. Consent is a separate, explicit opt in.
What families already notice
These are from parents using HushAway® at home. The moments they describe, transitions, focus before homework, coming down after a busy day, are the same ones your staff are managing thirty times a week.
‘Bedtime used to take over an hour. Now she asks for Blueberry Moon straight after dinner. No more battles!’
Sarah, mum to Isla (6)
‘Transitioning from evening activities to bedtime was a challenge. We now listen to HushAway® Eddie and The Secret of Pebble Creek and evenings are a little easier’
Louise, mum to Eddie (9)
‘Alfie would get out of bed in the morning but wouldn’t come downstairs, so we started incorporating some of the PeaceTime affirmations into his routine, now MOST days he joins us for breakfast! It’s work in progress’
Morgan, dad to Alfie (5)
‘Coming home from school and trying to get him to focus on homework before dinner has always been a struggle. We now know he loves the ASMR soundscapes so we play them in the background and they seem to calm him down for an hour so he can at least concentrate, which honestly is brilliant.’
Gaynor, mum to Charlie (9)
