Description
Special Talents, Special Needs is a step-by-step guide to running a drama group for people with learning disabilities. Based on their experience working with actors with learning disabilities, Ian McCurrach and Barbara Darnley have created a comprehensive handbook for teachers and facilitators.
This book covers all aspects of setting up and running a drama group, from finding the right setting to planning a performance. It includes thirty different sessions covering topics such as creative expression, acting skills, working with others, and building character. The guide is designed to be flexible, allowing groups to follow it step-by-step or use it as a starting point for their own ideas.
By using drama as a means of creative expression, people with learning disabilities can develop important communication skills, promote independence, and boost self-esteem. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to set up or run a drama group for this audience.
