Please find below some common questions at the start of the TACPAC journey
Use the TACPAC Sensory Development Tracker. A free tool to all TACPAC Set subscribers, designed to help you establish baseline levels and record progress of your TACPAC session.
By recording each session with the tracker, you can see what is being achieved, as well as what still needs to be achieved in order to progress your receiver’s sensory communication.

Each child will have an In-Depth Personal Handling Plan so you will need to consult/amend this accordingly. We suggest you check the students records initially and see what consent you have from parents on this. Consent may vary from child to child. You may find the following document helpful to pass along to parents introducing TACPAC.

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.
Yes, you just need to download the app onto a phone or tablet and log in, once only, to play all of the TACPAC music tracks without an internet connection.
No you can not download the TACPAC music. You can use our app on a phone or tablet and this enables you to play the music without an internet connection.
You can only use one device at any one time per account. So by logging in to your app on your phone will log you out of your app on your iPad or other device.
