Yes, You "Will" on Shakespeare's Island
For Students Ages 10-18 with Autism Spectrum Disorder
This workshop aims to help students ages 10-18 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) improve their ability to recognize emotions and enhance their communication skills. Games based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest" will be played throughout the class. A parent or caregiver is required to be in attendance with each student. CAA drama instructor Gloria Minnich received training in the Hunter Heartbeat Method (HHM) at Ohio State during the Shakespeare and Autism Workshop, working with students on the autism spectrum in small group settings. Each session will be led by Minnich, with assistance from a trained role model and helpers.
