Creative drama as an intervention to enhance social and communication skills of children with autism
description <p>This study aimed to investigate the use of creative drama as intervention to enhance</p><p>social and communication skills of learners with autism. Objectives of the study were to identify</p><p>the social and communication skills of learners with autism, develop a creative drama module,</p><p>determine the effectiveness of the activities in the module and identify the changes in the skills</p><p>of learners with Autism spectrum Disorder (ASD) as they undergo the activities. The case study was</p><p>conducted at Jose Fabella Memorial School (JFMS), Mandaluyong City, Philippines. Purposive sampling</p><p>was used involving six learners with ASD whose age ranged from 8 to 11 years old. Samples also</p><p>involved six parents and six teachers. Data were collected through interviews, observations,</p><p>checklists and field notes. Inter-rater checklist results were taken from the six teachers and the</p><p>researchers responses. Data were analyzed using thematic and narrative analysis. The themes that</p><p>emerged from the interviews were interaction with others, showing appropriate behavior and giving</p><p>appropriate verbal response. Findings showed learners social skills difficulties such as</p><p>disinterest in people, a choice of solitary activity over contact with others, doing socially</p><p>inappropriate things, and the inability to readily exchange social smile. Communication skills</p><p>difficulties were lack of initiative to talk with others, inability to ask questions and take turns</p><p>in conversations, lack of clarity in speaking and lack of eye contact and facial expression. Most</p><p>activities in the drama module were useful in enhancing, in varying degrees, the social and</p><p>communication skills of the learners. In conclusion, creative drama could be used as intervention</p><p>to enhance social and communication skills of children with ASD. Implication of the study provides</p><p>significant input and information on the use of drama activities as an alternative intervention to</p><p>help improve social and communication skills of learners with ASD.</p><p></p>
