The SENSE Theatre® Manual is the introduction, guide, and instruction manual to incorporating theatre and behavioral techniques to improve social skills in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The novel approach utilizes established behavioral methods in combination with theatrical techniques delivered in a supportive, peer-mediated, and community-based intervention.

The SENSE Theatre® is a blend of art and science providing a unique intervention program that sets the stage for learning verbal and nonverbal communication, social interaction, and movement.

The community-based intervention program aims to utilize well-established behavioral intervention strategies (behavior therapy, in vivo modeling, and video modeling) implemented in combination with conventional theatrical techniques (script reading, role playing, improvisation, singing, movement, and dance).
