About Sensory Soup

Hello and welcome to Sensory Soup! I’m Katie, and for 18 years I worked in special education, supporting children and young people with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Over the years, I developed a deep love for sensory learning and a special passion for working with children and young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

I created Sensory Soup to share that passion, designing adaptable, sensory-rich activity plans that can be tailored to the unique needs, interests, and abilities of the children and young people you support and care for. Each activity includes ideas for sensory items (when needed) that are easy to source, making experiences enjoyable for learners and a joy for you to share with them.

Alongside my growing collection of resources, you’ll find a free blog filled with extra ideas, tips, and inspiration, plus the Sensory Directory, which highlights amazing websites and people who share my passion for making a real difference in the world of SEND.

Sensory Soup is all about imagination, creativity, connection, and the joy of learning through the senses. I hope my resources will inspire you further in creating fun and meaningful sensory experiences that you and your learners will love being part of together.
