<\/a>\nMy Story: The Pelican Project<\/a><\/h4>\nAt The Pelican Project we have adopted a \u2018sensory approach\u2019 using materials, environments, soundscapes or ideas designed to entice young disabled people and their parents\/carers into stimulating creative play that engages the senses and offers capacity for open-ended discovery.
