This is a small dramatherapy group for autistic young people aged between 11 - 14 years old, with medium to high support needs. The course will run for 8 weeks with two information and support sessions before and after for family members.
Dramatherapy uses drama techniques to build upon the young persons' interests, creativity and strengths for communication in a small supportive group. No prior experience of drama is necessary.
Participants can be non speaking and maintain choice and influence over the creative process. Young people who attend are offered an experience of enjoyable communication to support their psychological health. They can be accompanied by a family member.
Meabh has worked as a HCPC registered Arts therapist since 2003, and is also trained in psychoanalytic observation for working with families and has recently completed a PhD at Ulster University on the uses of dramatherapy supporting communication with young autistic children. Meabh runs a private and freelance practice in Northern Ireland offering dramatherapy, supervision or consultation appointments. Home, school or outdoor visits are available by request.
She is a member of the BADth, IACAT, Play Therapy UK and is registered with the HCPC.
