Welcome to the PAMIS Story Resources Hub, where people and stories come together.
Story has always been central to the work of PAMIS. Stories are everywhere in our everyday lives, they surround us.
Stories help us understand the self and others. They support learning and development, understanding, interaction, engagement, connection.
With Multi-Sensory Storytelling we don’t just tell a story, but we use objects or sensory stimuli to enhance the story and allow it to be experienced with all the senses, to help bring it to life for the person experiencing it. So rather than just listening to the words, they become involved with the story…a part of the story.
Multi-Sensory Storytelling can
-
Support people to connect with real life experiences through their senses
-
Support people to share their experiences through their senses
-
Help prepare people for difficult situations in their lives
-
Help prepare people for new experiences
-
Support people to engage with their culture and heritage
-
Support people to access the school curriculum and lifelong learning opportunities
PAMIS Spirit of Stories
PAMIS Spirit of Stories is about more than storytelling. It is about people, relationships and connection.
Developed by Maureen Phillip in 2017, PAMIS Spirit of Stories grew from our belief that everyone is a storyteller and everyone has a right to communicate, be heard and share experiences with others.
Through multi-sensory storytelling, we create opportunities for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), their families and those who support them to connect, communicate, play and imagine together.
The Spirit of Stories is about making space for everyone to communicate and connect in whatever way is right for them.
We offer courses and development sessions for families, schools, day opportunities and support teams to explore multi-sensory storytelling.
