Drama is a creative art form. It is rich in opportunities for children to develop language arts skills. Dramatic activities such as role-playing, storytelling, and pantomime exercise the imagination and build communication skills. 

Dramatic activities in this handbook will compliment many educational objectives while developing communication skills and building self-esteem. Although all children can benefit from the activities, they have been designed especially for children with disabilities. 

Regardless of a child’s ability or form of disability, the activities will provide:
• A workout in verbal and non-verbal communication skills, as well as physical movement skills.
• An appreciation of cooperation and collaboration.
• An opportunity to feel successful.
• An increase in self-awareness and social confidence.

Dramatically Able was supported by grants from the following organizations:
• Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
• The Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
• The Frederick S. Upton Foundation
• The Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs
• The Pistons-Palace Foundation
• Very Special Arts/Michigan
• The W.K. Kellogg Foundation
