Product Description

Sensory Stories are a method to allow children with sensory modulation issues - sensory integration disorder, sensory integration dysfunction - to cope with everyday experiences. They are in a format that allows children with autism to employ calming strategies throughout the course of specific daily activities like combing hair, going to the dentist and many common school or social activities. When read on a regular basis, Sensory Stories enable children to engage in life.

Sensory Stories comprise 30 individual stories about daily activities. These Sensory Stories, included on the CD in non-customizable PDF format, instruct the child to use calming sensory strategies in order to deal with the unpleasant sensory aspects of that particular situation. The Instruction Manual describes what sensory stories are, summarizes who should use sensory stories, describes some of the key features within sensory stories and indicates how they should be used.
