TACPAC, short for Touch and Communication programme, stands as a distinctive and inventive method aimed at enriching sensory experiences and communication for individuals with varying needs. Contained within this document is a presentation with various slides, featuring symbols representing body parts, symbols depicting the objects used for tactile stimulation and a collection of songs intended for use during the activity. Participants will engage in exercises focused on interactive social skills under the guidance of supporting adults. Communication is facilitated through responses to music, and the tactile stimuli presented at each moment.

Sensology endeavors to rouse the five fundamental senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste) along with sensory systems related to movement: the vestibular (balance, head movements, and gravity) and the proprioceptive (body positions, body mapping, and planning movements). Each sense is activated and explored separately, often with the aid of a familiar song or rhyme to initiate the session, along with children observing themselves in a mirror. Sensology is employed to bolster your child’s awareness, engagement, and ability to express preferences. This is a sensology session about space, which intends to support sensory learners with their learning about the topic in a purposeful and meaningful manner.

Sensory exploration of The Romans throughout the 5 senses with symbols for key words, objects/equipment to explore with each sense in each slide.

Resource created for sensory students to be able to access RE in an appropriate way through TACPAC by exploring music and objects alongside symbols representing key words used throughout the lesson.
