The Multisensory Handbook - A guide for children and adults with sensory learning disabilities

Do you support a child or adult with sensory perceptual issues or cognitive impairment?

For people with challenging sensory and cognitive conditions, everyday life can become so unpredictable and chaotic that over time, lack of engagement can often lead to a state of learned helplessness. In this insightful text, Paul Pagliano shows how -learned helplessness- can be transformed into learned optimism through multisensory stimulation, and explains how a programme of support can be designed and modulated to match the person-s needs, interests and abilities. Full of practical, easy to use multisensory assessment tools and intervention strategies, this book will help:

• foster a feeling of ease with the environment
• the child or adult experience pleasure and happiness
• kick-start their desire to explore
• encourage improved learning, social well-being and quality of life.
