What advice would you give for supporting children with sensory needs?

Adaptations for sensory input

• Place the grapheme cards in a protective plastic sleeve so the children can discover the
  graphemes in sensory materials.
• Use mirrors to help the children see how they make the sound.
• Use balloons and other objects that give feedback to help the children feel the sound.
• Use objects that give a sensory input. Provide visual aids where possible, for example,
  when blending c-a-t, have a toy cat. This aids learning and recall.
