Review: "This photocopiable resource provides a step-by-step approach for carers and other professionals working with people with physical, multiple or complex disabilities to organising sensory-focused activities. It also presents information on sensory stimulation within a framework that embraces the individual's every-day situation. Activities are based around food, drink, personal and household care and crafts, and are kept simple so they can be slotted into daily routines with minimum disruption." "Assessment forms and checklists will help carers and support staff to monitor and understand their clients' needs and progress."--BOOK JACKET.
