Many aspects of drama therapy make it an ideal technique to use
with students with special learning needs. This practical resource
book for professionals covers the broad spectrum of students
attending special needs schools, including those with attention
deficit disorder, autism and Asperger syndrome, and students with
multiple disabilities. Paula Crimmens places therapeutic
storymaking within the context of drama therapy and offers
practical advice on how to structure and set up sessions to be
compatible with special needs learning environments. She shows how
story sessions can address issues of self-esteem and self-mastery,
and how their use in groups is invaluable for building social and
communication skills. The book includes traditional stories from
around the world as session material, and includes guidance on how
to devise stories relevant to older students, as well as a review
of recent research into the effectiveness of drama therapy in
engaging and retaining the attention of students with an
intellectual disability.
