The Use of Selected Theatre Rehearsal Technique Activities with African-American Adolescents Labeled "Behavior Disordered."
Anderson, Mary G.
Exceptional Children, v59 n2 p132-40 Oct-Nov 1992
This paper urges the use of Theatre Rehearsal Technique activities as communication learning experiences for adolescent African-American male learners with behavior disorders. The paper proposes that students may then gain quantifiable success in social communication interactions, and resultant reassessments of their special education placements might facilitate their entrance into less restrictive environments.
