2015-02-17 07:21:48 PM katew Sensory-I try to find out what a person did as an occupation and build something around that. Such as a teacher-you could have chalk, erasers, papers, a red apple, pencils, etc. Others will still relate because of being in school themselves or just the familiarity of the objects.
2015-02-17 07:21:51 PM chloer1 ol great idea i love it
