Quotes: "You don't tell a complete story, you tell parts of a story, and you leave out pieces so that people can fill them in with their imagination." "In one case, a child went through the storytelling experience, went home, and slept through the night for the first time in his life." "For neurodivergent kids, their imagination can be so active, and it can be their primary way of communicating."
