Sensory Stories | Summer Term PM -Leeds

Our sensory stories sessions are a targeted support programme (TSP) which focus on developing communication skills. Each week, we share our favourite texts that have been adapted to meet the needs of each child. We use different textures, sensations and sounds to immerse ourselves in a story and really bring it to life! Alongside our stories, our sessions include a range of sensory activities which incorporate our different senses to offer new stimuli, engage children and enrich their experience.

At Sense, we use a total communication approach to enable each individual to express themselves in whatever way works best for them, through a combination of sounds, signs, symbols, technology and much more! During this communication programme we guide families through activities and techniques to improve communication skills, such as listening, understanding, attention, speaking, expression and gesture, to enhance overall communication.

Our targeted support programmes run for the full term and provide families with the opportunity to work towards individual targets, in line with recognised frameworks, focusing on key areas of their child’s development.  For better outcomes, we advise families attend for the full term.
