    Situation

    Lockdown presents unique challenges for families with children who have special needs. Many of them shielding due to medical vulnerabilities, without access to their usual activities. Socially, many children haven’t interacted outside of their house for a year. Emotionally, many families in similar situations, rely on each other for support. Restrictions have meant this isn’t possible, creating significant pressures, feelings of isolation and feeling forgotten. That’s where we come in.

    Solution

    Let’s take the magic right to them. We’ve created a range of virtual performances and multi-sensory activities. Allowing families to come together, in their own homes. Empowering them to extend support networks, meet others virtually after shows. Listening to feedback, an educational series- ‘Sensory Squad’ is next. Trips to the farm or local fire station for example, exploring everyday settings. Importantly, also offering young disabled actors work experience as Guest Presenters.
