​Keeping All Children Involved in Drama

Abby Pickard

UNI Spectrum Project Drama

Being dramatic means different things to different children. Students with special needs can be very receptive but have challenges expressing what they are feeling, thinking or want to do. This session will take attendees through activities and strategies directors in the Spectrum Project use to help children be expressive in drama.
