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.

Includes clear learning objectives to help you plan and assess.

It is is aimed at supporting students and sensory learners of all ages following pre-formal/sensory, semi-formal or formal pathways incorporating activities that promote the five areas of the engagement model, creativity, independence, building communication skills, and supporting other areas of learning linking to curriculum subjects, themes, and topics.

This teaching pack is tailored to accommodate students’ individual learning needs through differentiated, themed, sensory extension activities linking to the EYFS Framework and areas of the KS1 National Curriculum making it the perfect resource for Special Education, Mainstream schools and settings, Speech & Language and EAL students.

Hi

I am a passionate advocate for sensory-rich learning, specialising in developing meaningful, engaging and accessible resources for learners of all ages with diverse sensory and learning needs.

As founder of Rhyming Multisensory Stories, I create Sensory Stories, Multisensory Music Journeys™, Practitioner Guides and inclusive educational resources packed with sensory-rich activities.

With over two decades of experience, I began my career teaching children from travelling communities in Spain and working in mainstream education, before moving into specialist education and founding my own business.

My comprehensive self-paced online CPD programme offers practical training in sensory storytelling and multisensory engagement, priced at £10 to keep professional development affordable.

I deliver workshops for Creative Education and EQUALS and create recorded presentations for specialist conferences and events, including The Sensory Festival (Hirstwood Training) and the PMLD Conferences (Dr Joanna Grace).

I work with Little Magic Train to develop inclusive sensory content for their EYFS platform, adapting adventures and creating activities for children who benefit from additional support and sensory adaptations.

I am a guest author in Sensory Stories: Making Narratives Accessible Through the Senses by Dr Joanna Grace and Sarah Moseley’s Teaching Reading to All Learners Including Those with Complex Needs. My articles have been published in PMLD Link and SEN Magazine.

My book, Sensory Spaces: An A–Z of Immersive and Creative Environments to Support Sensory Integration (Routledge, ISBN 978-1-032-98911-2), is a practical guide to creating customisable environments that spark curiosity, creativity and storytelling, using accessible everyday resources to support learning, sensory engagement and relaxation. It also features contributions from professionals working across specialist education.

I continually add new resources to my extensive resource bank.

I believe sensory experiences should be creative, meaningful, engaging, accessible and achievable, with learners at the heart of practice. Whether you are exploring sensory storytelling or Multisensory Music Journeys™, looking for fresh inspiration, or seeking practical ideas and guidance, my aim is to provide resources that make sensory learning easier to plan and deliver.

My free monthly teaching planners are packed with sensory-rich ideas and inspiration for PMLD and SEND classrooms, settings and home learning throughout the year.
