Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
Speak and Be Heard Theater offers theater camps and classes for Neurodivergent kids ages 7-18. Kids learn social skills through wildly fun and silly theater games, art activities, and short plays. Camps and classes focus on making friends, problem solving, perspective taking, and more in a fun and functional context. Camps and classes run year round.

Speak and Be Heard Theater offers weekend and after school classes during the school year and summer camps over the summer. Classes and camps provide neurodivergent children an inclusive, fun, and fast paced program that focuses on the development of social skills using wildly entertaining and wacky theater games and activities. We help young actors develop their abilities in areas such as pragmatic language, reading non-verbal cues, problem solving, teamwork, perspective taking, conversation, and language. Each class focuses on an acting skill (imitation of body language and facial expressions, improvisation, use of voice, character development, scene development) that relates to social skills development. Speak and Be Heard Theater is a safe place to learn and grow!
