Booker, the drama therapy trainer at the U. of Worcester, UK, explains how dramatic interaction can help people with profound or severe multiple learning disabilities (including sensory impairment) connect with the physical and social world, develop communication skills, and learn to handle emotions effectively. She outlines the aims of developmental drama and how it works with the whole person; the importance of play; the roles of caregivers, support staff, and other children; the development of emotional intelligence; the structure of activities; using the senses; developing role play; and approaches using interactive theatre and the storytellers circle.
