Tacpac draws together touch and music to create a structured half hour of sensory communication between two people. Tacpac creates sensory alignment and helps people of any age who have sensory impairment, developmental delay, complex learning difficulties, tactile defensiveness, and limited or pre-verbal levels of communication.
There are links on this page to the Tacpac site which includes offers and information. They also have some short helpful videos from Tacpac's creator Hilary Wainer to help you get started.
We’ve received lots of messages from teachers asking us to make Tacpac available to parents. We here at Tacpac HQ are well aware how much your pupils might be missing their regular Tacpac sessions now that schools have closed. We are working hard to help everyone continue sessions, and offer help and support during this strange time.
We would like to offer all the parents whose children are missing their Tacpac sessions, set 5 free of charge for 3 months to use at home. We are compiling a series of short training bites on Facebook to help everyone get started, to get the best out of their sessions and to understand how Tacpac works.
To become effective givers to your receivers, you’ll need to know the basics of Tacpac, and a bit of the theory behind the work.
Thank you for your patience and consideration while we prepare these short training videos to get Tacpac up and running for our parents.
If you would like your parents to use this set for free please just ask them to go to https://tacpac.co.uk/product/set-5 or click on the link after this message, and at the checkout add the code 8Q7A3TXS
Once done, please direct them to www.facebook.com/TacpacLtd to watch our short help videos designed especially for parents. Even if your school subscription has expired but you think parents may find this a valuable resource, please do share this with them.
If you are already using Tacpac at home, please use the guidelines for health and safety: Wash your hands before and after sessions. Wash all material objects in the washing machine after each session, and disinfect all hard objects that can’t go into the wash.
For those of you who have live accounts, please do go into the Tacpac Community page and let us know what you need, how you’re doing. The Tacpac Team are all working from home, and are here if you need us.
Please send your questions either to office@tacpac.co.uk or use the Community Page
