Music and movement for adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities. This session uses intensive interaction, music and movement within a multi-sensory environment to celebrate all forms of communication and creativity.
Spinning Wheel is a multi-sensory project for adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities. We explore drama, movement, sound, music, and use all of our senses to develop our own stories.
