Subject: Acting Antics: A Theatrical Approach to Teaching Social Understanding to Kids and 
Teens with Asperger Syndrome



This fun and inspiring step-by-step program provides the full set of tools for developing 
social understanding in children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) through drama.

Cindy B. Schneider explains how the central processes in acting - including making and 
interpreting inferences from non-verbal cues, taking another's perspective, and 
formulating language  - can be highly effective ways of addressing social cognition 
deficits in children with AS. Acting Antics contains a wide repertoire of activities and 
ideas for immediate application at home, in the classroom, in therapy workshops or social 
groups, ranging from initial warm up techniques, through paired activities, to larger 
group scenes and staging a show. Helpful appendices provide questionnaire forms to enable 
both the child and the program leader to assess and monitor the child's understanding of 
their roles, along with reproducible scripts and suitable scene designs.

This complete, practical program provides a wealth of enjoyable educational ideas for 
parents, teachers, and therapists of children with Asperger Syndrome.
