✨ Off to Bhutan! ✨
This month, I’ll be presenting my practice-based work at the 19th Biennial Conference of the International Association of Special Education (IASE) at Royal Thimphu College, Bhutan.
My poster presentation introduces Layered Narrative Accessibility (LNA), a framework that explores how accessibility can be embedded into storytelling itself, not simply as an add-on or afterthought.
For those who have been keeping up with our work, this concept was developed through a Trinidad and Tobago theatre production (performed at the Toronto Fringe Festival, 2025). The project examines how linguistic, cognitive, sensory, cultural, and experiential supports can work together to help audiences understand, engage with, and participate in stories in meaningful ways.
At the heart of this work is a simple idea:
♥️ Access to meaning requires more than access to space.
As part of the project, I developed a range of accessibility resources including plain language materials, large print formats, audio descriptions, accessibility guides, and examples of colour-coded captioning and audience orientation supports.

I'm excited to share Caribbean perspectives on accessibility, inclusion, and participation with colleagues from around the world and to continue learning from the incredible work being done internationally.
