Story where characters go for a walk and see signs of spring. Based on a multisensory story by Fiona MacGregor at FreeRange ArtFarm and adapted using PCS Symbols. There are two communication boards included - one colour-coded in line with the adapted Fitzgerald key and one without colour-coding. This is part 1 of a two part story but both could be used separately. I’ve added tactile materials to each of the pages to incorporate more sensory input.
