People Who Help Us The Special School Superheroes Sensory Story and Sensory Rich Activities Multiple Disabilities

Unlock the superhero within every learner through this sensory story that celebrates a day in the life in a special school….with a twist!

People Who help Us – The Special School Superheroes is an immersive experience, aimed to spark imagination, confidence, and inclusion through the senses. From the beeping taxi, jangling keys of the caretaker and hands-on Speech and Language activities, every moment invites learners to feel, hear, see, and connect.

Through rich rhyme and multisensory detail learners meet real-life heroes, the taxi driver and escort, caretaker, office staff, teaching teams, speech and language, physios, the cook and cleaners—and learn that the most powerful role of all belongs to them. With its triumphant final reveal (“It’s ME, it’s ME!”), this story empowers every learner to see themselves at the heart of the adventure.

This resource is reworked from ‘Superheroes – A Sensory Story’ originally released in 2022 to combine the People Who Help Us topic.

Speech and language activities such as Classroom Superheroes, Asking for Help, Bubbles, Click-Clack Track, and Jack in a Box (including adaptations for older learners) encourage expressive communication, confidence, and playful interaction.

Superhero Science experiments—Invisible Ink and Superfoods investigation—ignite curiosity.

Superhero Superpowers exploration provides activity ideas to bring fictional superhero characters (Superman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman and Batman) to life.

A Grab-and-Go Inspiration Table rounds it all off.
