Theatre & Autism: Three Simple Drama Games for ASD Kids
<p>Thus, having returned to Lithuania, I immediately started generating a plan for my future workshop which was to be implemented for the group of both neurotypical children and a child that had autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in one of Vilnius kindergartens. Yet, the main focus was placed on a 6-year-old ASD boy with whom I worked for almost a year and was trying integrate him into the group of children in the kindergarten he attended. It is noteworthy that his developmental delay was rather insignificant compared to the ones of his peers. However, he showed some difficulties in verbal communication such as the inability to change communication to match context or the needs of the listener and to follow rules for conversation. He was also socially inept, especially when it came to cooperation with other children, and he was struggling to control his behaviour which was inappropriate for his age. He also had some issues of paying attention to details while working and playing. In addition to this, he suffered from fear of failure.</p>
