What is a Multisensory Story?
A multisensory story is told using sensory stimuli (props).
The story props are low budget, everyday items found around the home, garden, outdoor areas and in the classroom.

What are the Benefits of Multisensory Storytelling?

1.  Storytelling creates a bond between the storyteller and the story explorer enhancing and enriching experiences.

2. Rhyming Multisensory Stories connect the individual to literature, culture and topic in a fun and engaging way.

3. The stories form a base on which to scaffold learning enabling the student to work on personal goals and individual targets.

4. The activities in the stories are designed to promote:
Communication skills: eye contact, listening, shared attention & language development
Self-confidence & well-being: trying out new ideas & skills, practicing self-care, independence and enjoying achievement
Self-awareness: (asking for 'help', 'again' and 'more')
Opportunities to explore cause & effect and build anticipation skills
Physical development: fine & gross motor skills
Knowledge about the environment & the world around us
Engagement in scientific experimentation and mathematical concepts
Development of social & emotional skills: turn-taking & sharing and teamwork

5. The sensory stimuli (story props) are a tool for the story explorer to explore and express their likes, dislikes, and sensory preferences and to have the opportunity to make choices.
This information can be used to identify motivators or items to calm and individual when anxious, tired, or stressed, identify triggers, (some you may wish to avoid, others to work on building tolerance through desensitisation in a safe and therapeutic environment) and used in the writing of care plans to enhance areas daily life.
