Feature Stories - Heartspring partners with Barnes and Noble for interactive storytime

Interactive Storytime at Barnes and Noble Parents looking to provide a new and engaging experience for their children are invited to attend a special interactive storytime offered monthly by Heartspring staff members at the Bradley Fair Barnes and Noble Booksellers.

Every second Saturday of the month at 1 pm, specialists from Heartspring, a local nonprofit that provides special education and therapies to children with special needs, will lead a unique story time experience for children. Utilizing picture symbols and sensory items such as movement, sounds and textures relating to the story, all children, including those with a diagnosis of autism or developmental delay, can participate in an enriching and visually stimulating storytime experience. Parents are also encouraged to participate, model and have fun interacting with their child and the story.

Recommended parent resource books and easily adapted children's books will be on display in the store and Heartspring staff members will be available to answer parents questions.
