Measurable Outcome(s)

This project was for the creation of two video adaptions of our Fidgety Fairy Tales stories that are free to all via our website (www.macmh.org/fidgety) and Youtube, allowing us to continue to stay connected to our usual audience as well as expanding to a wider audience during this time when our live performances have been on hold. Our actual evaluation methods included conversations with MACMH staff, conversations with the adult artists involved, an online survey for the youth actors involved, a focus group with youth with ADHD to refine the script for one of our stories, and an audience feedback form embedded on at www.macmh.org/fidgety.
