Shakespeare and Autism
Clip: Season 2 Episode 1 | 5m 34sVideo has Closed Captions
“The play's the thing!” The play's the thing that brought The Royal Shakespeare Company.
This innovative project combines the familiar, heartbeat rhythm of the iambic pentameter with sensory drama games to encourage children and young adults with autism to experience and express emotions. Researchers at The Ohio State University are working with the RSC to determine if using Shakespeare's plays as a teaching and therapy tool can have lasting benefits for people with autism.
