About Sensory Rhymetime

This a pilot program designed for children with disability. As some children can feel overwhelmed and overstimulated this is a session with reduced numbers so facilitators can concentrate on individual needs.

Sensory Rhymetime is an innovative early year program, designed to introduce children aged 0-4 to the joyful world of popular rhymes through a multi-sensory, play-based approach.

By incorporating music and sensory activities, Sensory Rhymetime not only enhances children's understanding and enjoyment of rhyme and story, but also serves as a valuable resource for parents, early childhood educators and therapists.

About Sensorium Theatre
Sensorium Theatre is Australia's only company making immersive, multi-sensory theatre specifically for young audiences with disability. Our aim is to improve the lives of children with disability by sparking their imaginations. Founded in 2010 by Francis Italiano and Michelle Hovane, we have impacted the lives of over 18,000 young people with disability with the magic of live theatre.

Our Sensory Storytelling program is inspired by the State Library of WA's Better Beginnings initiative and brings a multi-sensory play-based approach to "readings" of rhymes and children's stories. The program builds capacity amongst parents, early childhood educators and therapists by modelling the use of music and sensory activities to augment children's understanding and enjoyment of story.
