* Sensory Alignment
Unique to TACPAC is the theory and use of Sensory Alignment. We purposefully align the touch with the sound, giving one singular sensory message: What they see, is what they hear and feel. This gives the brain and nervous system a chance to form a predictable, and reliable sensory language, calming and enjoyable for anyone experiencing difficulties with sensory processing.

FAQs
Please find below some common questions at the start of the TACPAC journey
Body patterning is the process of tracing a route around the receiver’s body that can be repeated again and again, until the route itself is predictable and the receiver can anticipate both when and where they will be touched during the session. Body patterning is extremely important when delivering TACPAC with our Receivers.

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.

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.
