Summary: "For people with challenging sensory and cognitive conditions, everyday life can become so unpredictable and chaotic, over time, lack of engagement can often lead to a state of learned helplessness. In this insightful text, Paul Pagliano shows how 'learned helplessness' can be transformed into learned optimism through multisensory stimulation, and explains how a programme of support can be designed and modulated to match a person's needs, interests and abilities... The author offers an abundance of exciting multisensory stimulation ideas that can be applied to communication, play, leisure and recreation, therapy and education." - BOOK JACKET

Useful in my role as Total Communications Coordinator but too technical for staff or as a beginning guide
