Learning through play is a well-established principle that underpins much educational practice, yet it is often overlooked in association with children with autistic spectrum disorders. This book considers the wide-ranging benefits of developing play and taking it into drama with these children. The authors demonstrate how to implement such approaches via a highly practical, structured developmental framework, within which participants may gradually learn to be creative. They also discuss the psychology and pedagogy of autism in relation to play and drama and connect them to everyday learning situations using a wealth of examples.This accessible approach to play and drama can offer a powerful, memorable, integrating way forward for children with autistic spectrum disorders - and enjoyable, fun opportunities for teaching and learning.

First Published in 1998. This book sets the foundations for educational dance in relation to pupils with wide-ranging learning needs. It takes seriously the notion of 'dance for all' and explores a developmental approach for taking movement into dance, with strategies to enable learners of all abilities to progress in the context of National Curriculum requirements. It is grounded in the work of Veronica Sherborne and dovetails her developmental creative movement programme with the framework for educational dance pioneered by Rudolf Laban.
