In 2024 Telling Tales embarked on a research project under the direction of an Occupational Therapist with the goal of making our presentations more inclusive to people of different neurotypes and abilities.
One of our biggest learnings thus far has been about the multiple ways people engage. Some folks are happy to sit quietly and listen, others engage best while in motion or doing something with their hands. We want to create a “yes space” – where as long as you aren’t hurting others, engaging as you are able is welcome.
We have implemented these learnings across all of our in-person programming, including our annual Telling Tales Festival.
