Feeling, Communicating and Thinking

This book teaches drama and immersive theatre-based activities for parents and professionals working with children and young people on the autism spectrum. The exercises follow the author\'s simple, person-centred \'3C pathway\' of connecting, calming and communicating, and enable parents to gain an understanding of the challenges an autistic child may face by \'walking in their shoes\', while empowering children to become more self-aware and express themselves in healthy ways. The activities included in the book are tried-and-tested, accessible and easy to implement, such as breathing exercises, mirroring movements, and treasure hunts. Using these activities, parents and professionals can gain insight into the sensory and social challenges experienced by those on the spectrum and can work to build a positive and trusting relationship, offering a secure base for children\'s emotional development.
