‘Drama is an excellent way for young people with autism to develop their flexibility of thought as well as their social and communication skills. I have seen young people flourish during interactive drama sessions and form relationships that in the past may have been very challenging for the students to form. I have seen young people smile and use their imagination to be creative with the guidance of a drama specialist. The most beneficial aspect of the drama sessions I have witnessed has been how much fun the young people have when engaged and how much they look forward to drama. Finally, I have found specialist drama techniques have supported my teaching sessions and allowed me to form stronger relationships with students’
