Description
Book SynopsisSensory Stories are short stories of a few lines which are brought to life through a selection of meaningful sensory experiences. They are particularly beneficial for people with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) and Autistic children or adults. Sensory stories are perfect for introducing new sensory environments in a safe, interactive way to help reduce associated anxieties and open up new avenues for communication and play.
This updated edition is packed with original ready-to-use sensory stories, including 5 additional guest sensory stories by authors from around the world and your very own story template to create a sensory experience personalised for each person. With exclusive 'how to' video content and digital lesson plans, this book is the essential tool for introducing the transformative multi-sensory storytelling method into your home, classroom or group setting.
Using everyday items and step-by-step instructions to make incorporating sensory stories accessible and simple, it has never been easier to create inclusive and fun sensory experiences to enhance the lives of those with additional needs.

Jo Grace is an inspirational thinker, writer, teacher and presenter. At Chailey Heritage School, pre-pandemic, she kept 200 of our staff enthralled for a whole day - no mean feat! This book explaining the what, how, and most importantly WHY of sensory stories for sensory beginners makes for extremely valuable reading. -- Simon Yates, Headteacher, Chailey Heritage Schoo
