Is the TACPAC music important?2023-02-13T16:30:10+00:00

Yes it has been specially composed. You can’t use any music. The whole point of Tacpac is the alignment of the sensory languages of Touch and Music.  (meaning  of alignment: makes a  balanced and supportive relationship of these two elements to make each one clear, utilised, emphasised and understood. The one needs the other for either to proceed.)

The music has been composed to be aligned with the texture of the objects.

If you use different music, there is no alignment with the touch, and therefore the whole reason for doing a Tacpac session is null and void. You will be doing something – but it won’t be a Tacpac session, with its benefits, insights and communication. Remember Tacpac is about communication, use it to communicate, and you’ll be surprised what it holds for you and your partner. Come on a training to learn how this works.

What is the methodology behind TACPAC?2023-03-02T13:04:36+00:00

TACPAC has a unique contextual framework, following a coherent and logical scheme of work which guides the practise and choices the TACPAC practitioner makes during planning, executing and assessing their practise. The unique framework is based on aligning two sensory languages, and learning to communicate through this new language forged by the partnership. The logical rules and laws of music are combined with the equally logical, instinctive  rules and laws of touch to form a methodology which is easy to understand, and is inviting to use since it is familiar to us all. The specific procedures and techniques lend themselves to further research.

How does TACPAC help to Sensory Processing?2023-03-02T13:03:48+00:00

TACPAC is a sensory communication resource, and as such, the only processing done in a session is sensory. TACPAC works in a partnership of two people of equal status, and these 2 people learn each other’s sensory likes and dislikes, so that communication can be equal and effective. The TACPAC giver will understand that good processing takes place with no distractions, with a reliable and predictable partner, and with the close alignment of the touch to the music. This way sensory processing benefits from seeing, hearing and feeling one message which can then go from giver to receiver.

If you choose cheque or bank transfer, you’ll get an invoice by email and you’ll be able to log in and access your Tacpac sets after we receive your payment.
