Halloween Sensory Story and Sensory Rich Activities Multiple Disabilities

Step into the foggy night where spiders scuttle, ghosts glide, slime squelches and bats flap their wings beneath the moonlight…Every moment is told through the eight senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, proprioception (body awareness), vestibular (balance and movement), and interoception (internal sensations) to create a rich, accessible experience that invites curiosity and connection.

This immersive, inclusive resource is designed to support neurodiverse, PMLD, sensory, and SEND learners through poetic storytelling that honours every learner’s way of engaging.

Each poetic couplet is paired with:

Easy-to-source props that bring the story to life.

Step-by-step facilitation guidance for confident, consistent delivery.

Comprehensive learning objectives to support planning, differentiation, and assessment.

Sensory linkage notes that explain how each couplet supports a specific sensory domain.

These notes help you understand the sensory purpose behind each prop or cue and adapt activities to suit varied learner profiles with clarity and care.

Inside, you’ll find:

Halloween Fully Resourced Sensory Story

Spooky Sensory Space Ideas — for immersive environments

Pumpkin Play — from recycled sensory ideas to seed-based art
