Series 1: Ep 5: In Conversation with Touchstone

This month, Ali Warren talks with Joe from Touchstone, a charity offering transformative workshops for young people with autism. Joe talks us through the principles the practitioners use to ensure every learner gets the most of out of their drama experience with Touchstone.
