Communication and self-advocacy are vital to independence. This easy-to-use handbook is designed for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), such as autism and Down syndrome, and those who teach them. Anyone and everyone can use theatre games to practice communication. The fun, practical games in this book can help to lessen social anxiety, improve self-determination and encourage self-advocacy. The exercises are applicable in many settings, from the kitchen table to the board room, and everywhere in between!
