Whether I am performing at a hospital ward, a school, or an inclusion carnival, I adjust the energy, sensory elements, and narrative pace to ensure every child—neurodiverse or neurotypical—can engage comfortably. It is about creating a space where the puppets become friends, and every child feels safe enough to jump in, laugh, and play at their own rhythm. For over 13 years, I have seen firsthand how the simple act of storytelling can transform a room. My approach to community and special needs outreach goes beyond just an 'entertainment' slot. It is about connection. ### How I Adapt My Shows I understand that environments like hospitals or sensory-sensitive events require a different touch. - **Sensory-Friendly Engagement:** I use soft-touch plush puppets, controlled audio volume, and gentle, interactive narration that invites participation without overwhelming the senses. - **Inclusive Craft Workshops:** My puppet-making workshops are tactile and designed for all motor skill levels. Every child, regardless of ability, walks away with a creation they made themselves, which builds immense confidence. - **Mobile Setup:** I bring everything—the portable stage, sound system, props, and craft materials—directly to your venue. Whether it is a small group in a rehab center or a larger gathering at an event like 'Inclusion Matters' in Bengaluru, I set up a space that feels inviting and fun. ### Why This Matters Every show I have done, from Children's Day at St. John’s Hospital to sessions at the Spoorthy Learning Centre, has taught me that laughter is the strongest bridge. These sessions help children express emotions, practice social cues through the puppet characters, and simply enjoy being kids. I am passionate about supporting foundations and organizations that champion inclusion, and I am always happy to discuss how we can tailor a workshop to your specific community requirements, whether for a non-profit initiative or a school outreach program. ## About Tickles&Tales I’m Aarti, and for the last 13 years, Tickles & Tales has been my way of spreading joy where it is needed most. Whether it is a community carnival or a quiet afternoon in a hospital ward, I believe every child deserves a moment to just be themselves and laugh.
