We like to tell stories to each other. They can be about what has happened to us. They can be a way of sharing our culture and heritage. They can be a way of getting a message across. We enjoy sharing stories with other people. Sensory stories are a way telling a story to people who do not have good language skills. They use a range of different sensory experiences e.g. vision, smell, taste, touch and sound in a structured way so that the story is a multi-sensory experience. They enable the person to build up anticipation of what might happen next but also by following a set text can be reassuring. There are a wide range of different stories available.
