“Immediately, we got calls from parents: `Are you going to still do that? Are you gonna still be there? We’ll come,’” said education director Mydera Taliah Robinson. “We very quickly understood the need.”
Robinson stopped all in-person classes of the Autism Drama Program and moved them online, having no idea how that would work. The weekly sessions include classes for kids mostly make-believe games and performance exercises and playwriting workshops for adults, both designed to improve social skills.
