These materials are important because studies show when our students engage in pretend (or dramatic) play, they are actively experimenting with the social and emotional roles of life. When our students pretend to be different characters, they have the experience of "walking in someone else's shoes," which helps teach the important moral development skill of empathy. Mastering social skills can be challenging for many children who have special needs. This can be the case if their difficulties lie within an intellectual disability, a language disorder, or autism. In fact, a child who has language delays due to one of the three previously mentioned diagnoses may be slow to acquire the ability to name his feelings and needs. He will therefore have trouble making verbal requests and use his behavior and actions to express himself. My hope is that this project will help to encourage social and emotional development in my students.
