Sensory Stories for Children and Teens with Special Educational Needs

Sensory Stories are short stories of a few lines which are brought to life through a selection of meaningful sensory experiences. For children with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), Sensory Stories can open up new avenues for communication and inclusive learning. For students with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), they offer a fun way of encountering sensory experiences and triggers in a safe, repetitive way, which over time can help to reduce associated anxieties. This accessible book offers a complete step-by-step guide to creating and using Sensory Stories effectively. Aiming to make Sensory Stories affordable and accessible to schools and parents alike by using everyday items found in the classroom and home, Joanna Grace provides original, ready-to-use Sensory Stories with accompanying lesson plans, games and activities and adaptations for different abilities and diagnoses.
