The Story Massage Programme is a really accessible way to help children and young people with SEND engage with stories in a meaningful way. It is also wonderful for aiding communication both at school and home.

Thank you for the Story Massage online course. I truly enjoyed it and feel enriched from the process. I trained alongside my colleagues, and we find it an effective tool to establish rapport and encourage creative thinking.
