We are excited to tell our followers that the inspiration for "Danny's Wish", Danny himself is going to be in an upcoming play this weekend! Go Danny!!
We thought this would be the perfect time to highlight an amazing theatre called "International Association of Theatre for Autism".
International Association of Theatre for Autism (IATA)
"An online network uniting professionals and parents interested
in applying theatre techniques to help individuals with autism."
IATA was created to unite professionals and parents interested in using theatre to help individuals with autism. IATA is the first network to bring people from around the world together to strengthen theatre-autism work. The collaborative work of network members will be used to develop best practices, create new techniques, spread the word about theatre interventions for individuals with autism, generate data to support claims of effectiveness, and ultimately increase the quality of life for individuals with autism.
