Read the story together before the experience
Revisit it regularly to build familiarity
Let your child explore at their own pace
Use the sensory elements to keep them engaged

Question 7

What if my child doesn’t engage straight away?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely normal.
Every child is different, and some may need time to feel comfortable and ready to engage. Try keeping sessions short and relaxed, and follow your child’s lead.
You can also start by exploring the audio, watching the videos, or using the colouring and activity books. These can help build familiarity with the characters and experience, which often helps children feel more comfortable and open to reading the story together.

Question 8

Can these be used for non-verbal children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the stories use visual, sensory, and optional audio elements, so they don’t rely on speech alone.
Children can also access the story through videos, helping them connect with the characters and understand the experience in a more visual way.
For children who enjoy hands-on activities, optional colouring and activity books can offer another way to engage. Exploring the story in different ways can help build familiarity and understanding, supporting confidence over time.

Yes, they are great for use by teachers, SEN staff, therapists, and support workers to help children prepare for new situations.
