Paley's methods can be adapted for children with special educational needs:
Visual supports: Use pictures or symbols to aid storytelling for children with language difficulties.
Sensory stories: Incorporate tactile elements for children with sensory processing needs.
Assisted technology: Utilise communication devices for non-verbal children to participate in storytelling.
Individualised approaches: Tailor the complexity of stories and roles to each child's abilities.
Typadi and Hayon (2010) successfully adapted Paley's storytelling approach for children with hearing impairments, demonstrating its flexibility.
