"""I think this is a brilliant book, full of practical resources, exemplification, and implications."" - Alex Quigley, Author and Head of Content Engagement, Education Endowment Foundation ""This is an absolutely fantastic resource, I was entranced by all of the amazing activities and how incredibly useful they are. I love the visuals and the catfood session had me squirming! I think this toolkit will make such a difference in raising awareness and understanding as well as making necessary changes to sensory wellbeing in schools."" - Jane De Ste Croix, Principal Educational Psychologist Bath and North East Somerset ""This treasure trove of a book is packed with ideas for how to support early literacy. Whilst being extremely practical and accessible, it is far from superficial, guiding the reader expertly through the different processes involved in literacy acquisition for the young learner. I will be keeping my copy close by at all times to dip into for ideas of how to remove barriers to learning and enable all learners to achieve” - Louise Selby, Dyslexia Specialist ""By providing a well explained, solid review of the key evidence, alongside ideas for flexible, practical activities, their approach is sustainable and can be adapted to many different settings and contexts."" - Dr Laura Shapiro, Reader in Psychology, Aston University"

Author Information

Alice Hoyle is a wellbeing education consultant specialising in Relationships, Health and Sex Education (RSHE). She is a neurodivergent (ND) mum supporting varying levels of sensory needs in her ND family. Having worked in schools as a teacher, Personal Social and Health Education (PSHE) lead, Youth Worker and Local Education Authority (LEA) Education Adviser for two decades, she is very aware how sensory needs are hugely misunderstood and neglected across many mainstream schools. Tessa Hyde is an Occupational Therapist with nearly 40 years of experience working in the UK National Health Service (NHS) and independent sector. She works with schools and families to assess, identify and support the sensory and physical motor co-ordination needs of school aged children. Tessa has a wealth of knowledge and strategies to support co-ordination and sensory needs at home and at school. Alice and Tessa were neighbours for 10 years. This book was created after Tessa led a successful assessment on one of Alice’s daughters, where the suggested strategies were transformative.
