Inclusive and Interactive Storytelling for People with Learning Disability

Heart to Heart offer inclusive and interactive storytelling activities for people with learning disabilities. Clients are not passive consumers but participants in the creation and telling of the story. Traditional folktales and other works of literature become fun and accessible for participants, as together, we work with props, rhymes, rhythm, repetition and iconic gestures.
