Helicopter Stories Exchange
SEND Special
Curious about how storytelling can transform your Early Years setting?
This isn’t a webinar. It’s a live, unscripted conversation with three inspiring practitioners from our SEND Research Group. They'll be sharing how Helicopter Stories and Story Steps are helping children with SEND feel seen, heard and included.
It’s free, but places go fast.
Book your spot now and be part of the conversation.
What to expect:
Discover what's working in other settings.
Share what is working for you.
Connect with practitioners who are passionate about creativity and inclusion.
Why this matters:
Throughout 2025, we have been working closely with Early Years practitioners as part of a SEND Research Group, exploring how scribing and acting out stories can support children with complex communication needs to join in and feel part of the classroom community. This sessions bring these insights to life.
