2009 Public School Program of the Year Award |
|
The 2009 Public School Program of the Year Award Recipient is the Drama Club, Ann Arbor Public Schools and Washtenaw Intermediate School District. Successful social interactions are frequent keys to success in adult life. They require a number of complex social and reciprocal communication skills that are often significantly compromised for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Some of the fundamental skills include making eye contact, joint referencing, expressing and interpreting emotional responses, and being able to “put one’s self in another’s shoes.” Connie and Mary have developed a unique approach to address these skills deficits for ASD students. They have partnered with Wild Swan Theater, one of the most admired professional theater companies for families in the nation, and have developed and implemented the Drama Club. Wild Swan Theater has garnered praise for their ingenious artistry, innovative audience accessibility programs, and their drama workshop for participants with disabilities. |
