Feedback:"I teach secondary students with severe and profound learning disabilities I love your stories and can't wait to use them with my students""I work with children with profound and multiple learning disabilities, one of the biggest challenges is when the extent of the child's learning difficulty is not fully appreciated. Sensory stories are so valuable in allowing a child to experience something that is meaningful and enjoyable." "I've just received Cocoon, it's great, I'm ordering three more stories." "My niece arrived 4 weeks early, we saw her for the first time today, took her the sensory story and she loved it. Thank you." "I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the most amazing stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I was so overwhelmed with the level of detail in the stories. Thank you for allowing me to share your very special stories and stimuli with some very special children." |
