Spectrum Therapeutic Theatre
Therapeutic Theater Arts Socialization Program for Children and Teens with Asperger's and High Functioning Spectrum Conditions -
We will be Accepting Applications for
2016 Summer Program Soon!
2012 - Dr. Paltin has expanded her socialization program for children and teens with spectrum disorder conditions to a weekly Theater Arts based therapeutic program.
This exciting program incorporates use of theatre arts, music and movement to engage participants in developing social skills and social awareness. Participants gain confidence, social skills and the ability to express themselves creatively in a supportive and dynamic environment.
Benefits of Therapeutic Theatre Arts with Asperger's/Autism:
I have found that many children and teens with Asperger's and high functioning Autism possess a strong drive toward creativity. Whether it is singing, acting, playing an instrument or story-telling, theatre arts applied in a therapeutic process will allow them develop skills and abilities that reach far beyond the group experience. Some of these benefits include:
self-confidence not only in performing, but in interactions
improved self-esteem; pride in their accomplishments
improved recognition of emotions in others
improved identification and labeling of own emotions
improved identification of emotions of others, and skills in facilitating interpersonal communication
developing a hobby they enjoy with others
new awareness of voice pitch volume, modulation of speech and voice
new skills for functioning in group activities
new skills in following directions
improved interaction with peers
increased self-confidence through success
increased body awareness
