In order to provide sensory information, supplies are required. What supplies are used is dependent on your location. Keep in mind the sensation you are wanting to produce while you are carrying out your everyday activities. The materials must also be safe for the person to use.

Within ACL 2 High their sustained attention is so short that leaving the supplies at bedside seems to be a necessary means of reducing the hassle of setting up several times a day.

Leaving supplies, directions and a visitor's book at bedside supports family, friends and volunteer participation and gives them something useful to do when they come to visit.

Sensory stimulations will probably be more effective if they have a limited range, such as six cues to at least three senses with a change in at least two cues every week / month. When possible, at least one of the cues should be a personal favourite. The variation in cues may also be an important mechanism for sustaining visitor involvement.

The aim is to allow the person to regularly choose what positive cues they want to pay attention to.
