At Little Hiccups, we are always looking for fresh, engaging, and meaningful ways to connect with our children and families. A huge part of making our sessions special comes down to continuous learning and bringing creative new ideas into everything we do.

That’s why we are delighted to share that our wonderful team member, Lissi Williams, has successfully completed her training in Introduction to Sensory Storytelling for SEND & PMLD!

The workshop was delivered by The Sensory Project (part of The Sibling Group) and covered practical, immersive techniques designed specifically to make storytelling accessible, inclusive, and fun for children with additional needs and profound and multiple learning disabilities.

What is Sensory Storytelling?

Sensory stories break down barriers to traditional reading and listening. Instead of relying solely on spoken words or pictures on a page, sensory stories bring narratives to life through touch, sound, rhythm, scent, and visual cues.

Whether it is the rustle of leaves, the cool splash of water, or the vibrant texture of different materials, sensory stories allow children to experience stories at their own pace and in ways that resonate best with their unique sensory profiles. They encourage communication, curiosity, and shared connection.

Bringing Stories to Life

Having team members trained in specialised approaches means we can keep enriching our sessions, stay parties, and family events. Lissi’s dedication to completing the learner workbook and assessment shows just how passionate our team is about creating engaging, inclusive spaces for everyone.

A massive congratulations to Lissi on earning her certificate! We can’t wait to see these creative ideas woven into future Hiccups activities.

Keep an eye on our upcoming events and sessions to experience some sensory fun with us soon!
