Story Drama in the Special Needs Classroom: Creative confidence for teaching through dramatic play

The workshop demystifies how the classroom teacher or teaching artist can incorporate story drama into his/her special needs classroom by providing classroom management  techniques and creative tools as a means of learning and artistic expression for individuals with special needs, specifically autism. The information presented serves classrooms, specifically elementary, that are either exclusively special needs or designed by inclusion.  The formula for the story drama can be adapted to either a class period or extended over  the year for an interdisciplinary learning experience. The workshop covers the Dramatic  Formula (structured lessons for success), drama-in-education techniques, and adaptation alternatives for individualized classrooms.
