Unlock the superhero within every learner through this sensory story that celebrates a day in the life in a special school….with a twist! People Who help Us – The Special School Superheroes is an immersive experience, aimed to spark imagination, confidence, and inclusion through the senses. From the beeping taxi, jangling keys of the caretaker and hands-on Speech and Language activities, every moment invites learners to feel, hear, see, and connect. Through rich rhyme and multisensory detail learners meet real-life heroes, the taxi driver and escort, caretaker, office staff, teaching teams, speech and language, physios, the cook and cleaners—and learn that the most powerful role of all belongs to them.

Speech and language activities such as Classroom Superheroes, Asking for Help, Bubbles, Click-Clack Track, and Jack in a Box (including adaptations for older learners) encourage expressive communication, confidence, and playful interaction.
