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.

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.

Sensory Stories to Support Additional Needs Reviews

Joanna's passion for inclusivity and deep understanding and experience of the needs of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) shines through every single page of this book. I finished the book feeling inspired and excited about the impact of these brilliant sensory stories on children with SEND. This book needs to be in the hands of all teachers and parents of children with SEND * Georgina Durrant, author of 100 Ways Your Child Can Learn Through Play (Fun Activities for Young Children with SEN) and founder of The SEN Resources Blog *
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
