Collaborations
I am fortunate to have opportunities to collaborate with remarkable people across the SEND field—kindred spirits who share a vision for inclusive, sensory-rich learning.
This space celebrates those partnerships and the projects we’ve shaped together.
Each collaboration is a thread in a tapestry of experiences that honour diversity, deepen connection, and welcome every learner to explore and connect in a space where every sense is welcome.

Marvin’s Storytime Show is a joyful, inclusive online literacy programme designed especially for children with complex needs, sensory impairments, and profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) created by Gwyn McCormack, Director of Positive Eye.

Sarah and I have also worked together on the “Reading for All” literacy workshops - live training sessions designed to support educators working with neurodiverse learners.
I was one of five guest authors invited to contribute to Joanna Grace’s book Sensory Stories to Support Additional Needs: Making Narratives Accessible Through the Senses with my sensory story 'The Haircut'.
This is a practical and imaginative guide that empowers educators and carers to create inclusive, emotionally resonant stories using everyday sensory experiences for learners with PMLD, autism, and sensory processing differences.
My collaboration with Luula, the sustainable Montessori furniture company, was a delightful fusion of poetic sensory storytelling and tactile learning design. Together, we created a sensory-rich adaptation of The Three Little Pigs, tailored specifically to complement their multifunctional Montessori table and chair set which won the prestigious German Design Award in the Baby and Child Care Product Design category.
I have presented live workshops and recorded webinars for Creative Education.
