Xcite Steps presents The Xcite Players Drama Troupe ... an opportunity for teens ages 13+ who experience cognitive disabilities such as aspergers, high functioning autism, PDD- NOS, MDD, CDD,social anxieties, or minor disabilities to be part of a social drama program. The program will serve as a safe and appropriate emotional and physical outlet for creative expression and the practice of daily life skills. Each participant will feel a sense of personal accomplishment and develop self-confidence. The short term outcome is a wonderful presentation on the final week and the long term outcome is increased socialization w/ peers and adults!
