About the Book

The Multisensory Handbook by Paul Pagliano is a practical guide for supporting children or adults with sensory perceptual issues or cognitive impairments. For individuals facing sensory and cognitive challenges, daily life can often become unpredictable, leading to feelings of learned helplessness. This book provides a transformative approach by showing how learned helplessness can be turned into learned optimism through multisensory stimulation.

The book offers a comprehensive programme of support that can be tailored to suit the unique needs, interests, and abilities of the individual. With a wealth of practical strategies and assessment tools, this resource helps to:

• Foster a sense of comfort and ease in the environment.

• Engage individuals in enjoyable and meaningful activities.

• Encourage exploration, improved learning, and social well-being.

• Enhance quality of life through communication, play, therapy, and education.

The Multisensory Handbook is an essential resource for professionals in education, health, and social care, offering insights into how to apply multisensory strategies effectively in various settings, ensuring both fun and learning are at the core of every intervention.
