By Phil Cox – Makaton Regional Tutor & SEN Teacher (25 years)

The Sensory Curriculum Co.

Bring Homer’s epic to life through a fully immersive multi‑sensory drama experience, designed specifically for learners with PMLD, ASD, SLD and MLD.

This edition of The Odyssey – A Sensory Drama now includes embedded, ready‑to‑play music tracks for every scene, removing all teacher prep and ensuring smooth, atmospheric storytelling from start to finish.

Across eight carefully structured scenes, learners journey through storms, experience mythical creatures, temptation, danger and finally homecoming with sound, light, props, emotional tone, and music guiding them through every moment.

Each scene includes an embedded soundtrack to support:

• emotional regulation
• atmospheric immersion
• anticipation-building
• pacing and transitions

Music is selected to reinforce each environment:

• storm soundscapes
• dreamy lotus‑island tones
• rumbling Cyclops cave
• Siren‑like vocal textures
• high‑intensity action for Scylla & Charybdis
• warm homecoming tones
• reflective closing music

Perfect for sensory learners across all key stages, this structured yet flexible programme supports:

• Sensory dignity
• Co‑regulation
• Emotional safety
• Makaton-supported communication
