Storytelling

Storytelling is one of the oldest of arts, and has always taken the role of entertainment and cultural necessity. Laws, news, customs, survival techniques, personal heroics, or unfortunate circumstances, all within the context of stories, were passed on and on down through the years. The stories were kept alive through the "word of mouth".

Storylines provides customized storytelling training and performances for special needs groups.

Storytelling for Adults
Storytelling for entertainment purposes is ideally met in different ways depending on the audience's background, communication skills and cognitive level. Story delivery, subject matter, complexity, timing, and story length must all be taken into consideration when selecting and telling stories.


Aphasia Friendly Storytelling
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder, usually caused by stroke or head injury. It can affect people to different degrees, but most often leaves people with compromised verbal communication and decreased understanding of conversational speech. Reading comprehension and writing abilities are frequently also diminished.

Storylines has provided specialized storytelling programs and training for the Halton Aphasia Centre at the Burlington and Georgetown locations.
