Wigston Library’s Multi-Sensory SEND Project

The second year of our Creative Expression in Libraries Projects has begun and we’re really excited to introduce our upcoming multi-sensory project at Wigston Library. During our first working group meeting SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) audiences were identified as a cohort we would like to work with. Little Hill Primary School in the town are on board, and we can’t wait to begin workshops with a group of their Key Stage Two SEND pupils in September!

After reaching out for a Creative Practitioner to work with us on this project, we are really pleased to announce we will be working with Rachel Scanlon. Rachel has lots of experience in working with children in both mainstream and SEND settings and we can’t wait to see what she can deliver for us.

During a series of multi-sensory sessions, Rachel will engage our participants to help co-create a multi-sensory resource that can be used in the library for the longer term. We look forward to sharing more details as our project commences, so keep an eye on this page for updates!
