This guidance gives suggestions for teachers to deliver seven connected drama sessions together with general advice on the principles behind this adaptation. Although originally the document was written to support teaching secondary age pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties, the content could be used to teach pupils of all ages across the spectrum of learning difficulties as well as in mainstream settings.

As You Like It (2016): Simple script and castlist using Widgit symbols

(1)
This simplified version of Shakespeare's play uses symbols taken from the Widgit programme 'Communicate in Print'. It is intended that the script will help actors who have autism and severe learning difficulties to read and recall lines more easily during the rehearsal process. This resource can be used as a companion piece to the performance script, 'As You Like It (2016)' . Also included is a simple cast list of the characters in the play. Each character is represented by a large symbol. These can be used to help actors during the rehearsal process.
