Sensorische Stimulation

For individuals with complex physical and cognitive disabilities, stimulating their senses is essential for developing abilities, personality, and cognitive skills, as well as enabling social participation. Creative ideas for stimulating the senses of touch, taste, smell, and sight are therefore in demand. This practical handbook for caregivers, occupational therapists, special educators, and remedial educators explains why sensory stimulation is beneficial, what activities are possible, and how they can be easily implemented. The first part of the book presents the theoretical foundations of sensory-focused activities and discusses why these activities should be offered. It leads into the assessment of abilities and illustrates how sensory-focused activities should be structured and carried out. The second part showcases everyday activities, such as preparing drinks and meals.
