Inclusive Stories Success Stories

“We often get responses we’ve never seen before.”

At St John’s Primary School in the Isle of Man, Inclusive Stories is helping children with complex needs connect, respond and take part in shared learning experiences. Through sensory-rich stories, familiar symbols and carefully chosen props, pupils are showing engagement in ways that feel truly meaningful. Staff value how easy the stories are to adapt for eye gaze, switches and touch, and how they support group activities that bring everyone together. Small responses like a smile, a look or a movement are celebrated as powerful moments of communication and inclusion.
