Will you do anything differently as a result of today's training?
Look for ways to integrate sensory stories into our mainstream setting.
New to sensory stories but feel after today’s training I have something to introduce to our school.
Look more focused on ability of prop (more useful have to have, more sense to stimulate).
Look at curriculum and timetable and find ways to make it more accessible to my class and provide appropriate learning time; spread the word with my colleagues.
Have gained inspiration and new ideas for sensory activities and resources. Will definitely try to develop sensory stories in the workplace.
Share information with colleagues and purchase a range of sensory stimulating props!
I will use sensory stories with a mixed group of pupils now, with narrative that will hold attention and sensory content too.
Begin to use sensory stories much more in my practice and give the children plenty of playtime to respond to the stimulus.
Definitely talk less and slow down.
Share with my team; write some sensory stories.
Compile appropriate sensory story cubes, boxes, sacks, etc.
Pare down stories, avoid chat, have confidence in lots of repetition, not use too many stimuli at once.
Yes, more consistency.
I will look up research/evidence to back up why I do things/how I teach regarding giving time for responses, repeating etc.
Have a better awareness of the importance of creating meaningful sensory experiences.

What was best about the course/event?
Lots of material to instigate/inspired thinking of your own.
Presenter - she lives it, she knows, she shares.
Delivered very enthusiastically; very interesting and lots of relevant background information and examples provided.
Exploring resources, watching the presenter tell a sensory story, lesson tracker ideas (graph).
Presenter was motivating and engaging. The pace of the day was excellent.
Presenter is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and conveyed this well to the class, using personal experiences to support. I am now much more confident at using sensory stories in class.
So many great ideas (not involving lots of money spent).
Ideas for sensory objects; presenter’s passion for her subject!
Presentation.
Well presented and very informative.
The clear guidance on the simplicity of creating your own stories.
Passion for and knowledge of reality of experience/area. Relevance for learners with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD).
How to make resources.
Presenter is a great communicator so kept my attention.
Resources/ideas and research discussed.
What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?
No - a really great day.
More time (2).
The day didn't seem to follow the programme outline - still a very worthwhile day!
More interaction.
Wish it could be available for more - as in-service.
