Sheree's work with very special people began in 2001 at Catherington School (see THE PMLD PROJECT below). Since then she has continued to work with a wide variety of special needs including emotional and behavioural issues, Autistic spectrum disorders and complex disabilities.

THE MIGHTY MEGA-PLOT PROJECT
In 2007/2008 Sheree was involved in a wonderful project involving SEN, disabled children and their siblings at
DISCOVER in Stratford, East London. As a writer and facilitator, Sheree work with this unique group on the first phase of a year-long project beginning in January 2008.
During the 10week term, she shaped threads of narrative developed from the groups original ideas, which were then be woven together into one story. The completed stories then fed into a visual programme during the summer term with the final phase of the project (involving the group working with a designer to develop a sculpture/installation for
DISCOVER's sensory garden) completed in December 2008.
