Project 52 tells inclusive, sensory stories, creating fun and colourful environments to support people to express their humanity through engaging with each other and the wonderful world around them.

We work with children and adults with autism, learning disabilities and additional needs  including those with dementia. We work with education services, children’s and adult services. We also deliver training and consultancy.

Project 52 CIC was created by Fiona Barr after research on her theory the “WHIISPA approach.” WHIISPA: Working Holistically, including Intensive Interaction and Sensory Play and the Arts.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to: experience connection, communicate, build relationships and have fun. We have a series of inclusive stories and story boxes (film, sensory kit and story book) which incorporate the Project 52 ethos.

We want each person to be seen and heard, to be happy and enjoy colour, texture, music, singing, movement and fun. Our stories are designed to support people to feel good about themselves, know joy, have passion and curiosity for life.
