So we talk alot about "adapting" pieces, heck its even in our title, but why?
What is different about the brain of someone with Autism?
to put it simply- the way we use our senses
to put it less simply- read the following article (http://autism.about.com/b/2010/08/20/solid-research-on-sensory-dysfunction-in-autism.htm)
A recent study concluded that "The finding -- based on recordings of electrical activity in the brain -- is concrete evidence that children with autism spectrum disorders process information differently than typical children"
and now that we begin to learn the different ways we process things differently, we can update the ways that we adapt our theater productions to help them!
see, science and art do go together sometimes!
