Workshop Dance/Movement Therapy with Autism

Thu 21 Jan 2016, 10.30 am – 12 pm
The Black Box

From the organizer:

Children with autism are described as living in their own world, for they often shun social contact. The classification of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as a sickness, disease, or just a different way of being is still in question. Based on the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), poor social communication and restricted patterns of behavior and interests are two main diagnostics of ASD (DSM-5, 2013, p.50).

The workshop integrates the knowledge of the Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP) and the research of children with autism at Heartsong organization where I have been working as a Dance/Movement Therapy intern. The workshop provides a brief overview of the research and intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders and how developmental and clinical perspectives of the Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP) approach can bring benefit the clients.
