A digital engagement toolkit
This toolkit was created by Arizona Theatre Matters to accompany The Art of Accessible Sound, a playful educational video about how sound helps tell stories and how accessibility helps everyone join in.
It can be used in a classroom, at a library, or at home. It is designed for Grade 2 learners and inclusive classrooms, including Special Education settings.

About Arizona Theatre Matters
Arizona Theatre Matters creates theatre where access is part of the art. We believe stories should be experienced through sound, movement, and language, and that everyone deserves to take part.
