Developing Play and Drama in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders

Description

Learning through play is a well-established principle that underpins much educational practice, yet it is often overlooked in association with children with autistic spectrum disorders. This book considers the wide-ranging benefits of developing play and taking it into drama with these children. The authors demonstrate how to implement such approaches via a highly practical, structured developmental framework, within which participants may gradually learn to be creative, and discuss the psychology and pedagogy of autism in relation to play and drama, connecting them to everyday learning situations using a wealth of examples.
