The Autism Education Project Actors for Autism Actors for Autism
is a theater education program specifically aimed at increasing
social awareness and understanding of people on the autism
spectrum. the Autism Education Project will create original
material that will be performed by adults with ASDS in public
elementary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Through these performances, Actors for Autism will create a
mutually beneficial open dialogue of understanding, empathy, and
tolerance between individuals with ASDS and their communities.
Through carefully guided instruction and creative rapport, the
actors will help design, develop and initiate shows that engage
children, teachers, administrators and parents. While developing
their own significant body of work, the performers will receive
payment for their performances, while helping to dispel fears
about interacting with people with ASDS.
