Jo Grace - The Sensory Projects

Thank you to whoever did this, although I'm not sure I'll pass the tests, surely they want a proper Cornish Lass?

Opera. they wrote to me. Because they already have an offer for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and they want it to be even better. How wonderful it is to see these changes. We need more of course, but it's lovely to note the distance traveled.

"Hey, have you considered people with profound and multiple learning disabilities?" Very few would reply, no one already had one, some people got curious, and one or two would say "please help us create one". And now here we are, I've never written to the Royal Ballet and.

behalf of/with people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, at the start, before the Sensory Stories project even, one of the things I would do a lot of was writing to big organisations who had a schools offering (but didn't have a special schools offering) saying.

Today I had a glorious (fast!) meeting with The Royal Ballet & Opera about their sensory offer for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, and how they can make it even better!. It made me reflect. this is my second decade working on.

Sometimes people say autistic people are in their own little worlds. .

Summer holidays, always a balancing act

One of those: *gulp* did I say the wrong thing moments.

I have an online course about sensory rooms available at:

something I wrote five or ten years ago I wish I could go back and re-write, this one stands the test of time). I'd say it again today!.Questions are more useful than answers. Thinking is more useful that stuff. The magic is in the people, not the places!.

Today I came across this sentence, could not remember who had said it, so put it on the track down pile. A few hours later I was happy to discover it was me! (Happy for 2 reasons, the first being that I'd liked the quote and the second being relief, so often upon re-reading.

the correct referencing for most, but there are still half a dozen or so that I haven't found. Sometimes I just jettison them, but where they are sentences that I'm particularly fond of I keep a hold, hoping to one day track them down again.

and I know it is true, because I know I built those presentations from my research reading at the time, but various hard drive disasters wiped out my archive of research papers so that if you were to ask me "Which research?" I'd have to take an educated guess! I have tracked down.

Magic, published by Routledge. So I'm reasonably familiar with the field, but in the naughties I was prone to great hard drive disasters - was this just me, or did this happen to you too?. Consequently I have presentations I give in which I say things like "research says. ".

In 2018 I did a piece of research that identified the characteristics of, and barriers to practice to, effective multi-sensory room practice. It was published in the Tizard review and the work became the foundations of the book: Multiple Multi-sensory Rooms: Myth Busting the.

I have been invited by NASEN to create a module for their new LMS about multi-sensory rooms. This has given me cause to go digging back through the checkered research into the use of the rooms.

Identity is having an identity crisis & this has been identified by identity scholars (But I've a lovely French number to describe it in, my husband yells Toga Toga at me when I wear it and a dear friend described it as a sack, but it is fashion darling!).
