Loretto's Stories
Created in loving memory of Loretto Lambe, founder of PAMIS, this multi-sensory story resource is a celebration of her contribution to multi-sensory storytelling for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
Loretto grew up in Sligo in Ireland, surrounded by stories and a community spirit that valued the telling of these stories. The three stories here were chosen because of their Irish roots and come from the rich oral storytelling culture that she loved. They are designed to take you on a creative multi-sensory journey that awakens your senses and stimulates the imagination. ​
The Selkie Bride
The Tramp and the Fairy Boots
Oona and the Giant
Loretto's life was dedicated to making sure that people with profound and multiple learning disabilities were seen as valued members of society with much to contribute. Inclusive communities were at the heart of all her work and it is those communities that came together to continue Loretto's storytelling legacy in the making of this resource. People made this project happen. Everyone worked together and everyone who wanted to help and be a part of it could help.
