A great article explaining at least a part of what is AWESOME about teaching social skills through drama. As the article says “Improvisation exercises are useful because so many autistic kids rely on ‘scripts’ to navigate social situations.” Hopefully this article will encourage you to get your neuro-diverse child or teen involved in theatre in some way… even if it isn’t with us!
