A NEW CONCEPT
IN THERAPY
Content
Developing shared

interests
Rationale
Method
Outcome
All sessions were video recorded by a student who was also an active
participant of the group. Both the SLP and drama instructor also
participated, serving as supports and facilitating from within, rather than
exclusively through the student and teacher hierarchy. Our last two sessions
were held in a theatre, providing an opportunity for transition, as well as
heightening anxiety and dysregulation - these conditions often lead to
difficulty in accessing skills while one is functioning in more rudimentary
brain stem activity of fight or flight.
DEMOGRAPHICS
one child with fluency and speech sound disorder, as well as challenging
oppositional behaviors.
TIME FRAME
Ten weeks foundational skill development (relationship building,
awareness, attention, engagement, attunement, turn-taking; reciprocity)
Five weeks development of cohesion, perspective taking, and group
inter-dependence
Seven weeks characterization, scene and script development,
memorization, modulation, expression, fluidity, staging, blocking,
rehearsing, refining
