Patterns

By Ellie Griffiths and Abigail Sinar

At the beginning of Summer 2017 we've taken the Barn to schools around Aberdeen with Ellie and Abi. They have done a wonderful job putting the Creative engagement at the forefront of this project. 'Patterns' is a visual and sound project that engages and focuses on working with autistic children in a creative way. We had an end of project celebration with the parents and children today at Seaton Developmental Nursery. This project was developed by our Learning and Enagement Officer Linzy McAvoy.
