To support students learning descriptive vocabulary; stripy, spotty, shiny, furry, smooth, rough, spiky, soft and hard. Match the communication in print word and image (laminate and cut - I recommend printing and laminating more than one copy- one to be cut so that it only matches the correct answer and one cut straight across for when they get better at it!) I also match with objects with these qualities for a wider understanding. With Makaton prompts to aid understanding and language.

This is a sensory story for Alice in Wonderland. It explains everything you will need to present the story in a more accessible way. It is a longer story than usual for sensory stories and is aimed at MLD SLD students (P level 6 - 1C). The story is re written in simple language with the sensory elements in the comments, so you will need the review tab open. I did a chapter a week with my class, we read through the chapter twice each week. I used the story for literacy, completing relevant tasks after each chapter. The resources you will need are also attached, so you can take a shopping list out with you. I posted the items I needed on the staff notice board and went to charity shops, but Amazon is always available!

This is a multi sensory, plain English version of The Little Mermaid. The story is based on the Ladybird Favourite tales version. It has been rewritten in simple language. The equipment is detailed so you can make a shopping list! The multi sensory elements are described throughout the story, but feel free to adapt to suit your needs, or if you have a better idea! I will be using the resource with secondary age, SEN (SLD / MLD/ complex needs) students for Literacy lessons. The ‘chapters’ are quite short, so each chapter can be used as a sensory story. I plan to do one chapter a week with my class. The use of multi sensory input helps students to retain and understand the information within the story. For more information about why sensory stories are beneficial Google Joanna Grace. I hope you enjoy using this story with your students! please review, so I can improve, th

Communicate in Print choice board for 3-stage sensory circuit. Stage 1 - alerting - wakes the body up Stage 2 - organising - knowing where your body is in space Stage 3 - calming- calm down and get ready to learn. Laminate and cut the sheets with activities, velcro or tack on the back to put choices onto choice board. Students should do at least one activity from each stage (in order), aim to build up to 5 minutes in each stage. This has worked really well for my Year 13 class this year. I hope you find it useful!

This is an editable sensory circuit random choice generating powerpoint! I have added the activities I use with my class for alerting, organising and calming, but you can add your own.
