Sensory Drama

Multisensory drama is a weekly group session that uses story telling together with multi-sensory activities to support the development of communication skills. The sensory activities are designed to help tell a simple story, and to practice sequencing events so students can show us their full personality, their likes and dislikes, their interests and wishes. 

The stories in Multisensory Drama usually unfold over a full term, giving the students lots of opportunities to engage, anticipate all their favourite parts of the story, explore their senses and share the experience with a group of others. 

Wherever possible our Multisensory Dramas address major themes from the Primary and Secondary Curriculum.  We have a Immersive Classroom, that we use to run these sessions.
