Ways to increase motivation for students with disabilities

Speaking about her work for the students with disabilities, Ihsan Al-Qaisi said, “Our aim in using drama therapy is to help the students with learning disorders and autism. As the organization, we carry out activities for all people with disabilities. We have academies to teach the people with disabilities how to perform theatre plays and sing songs. In this way, we reveal the skills of the disabled and increase their motivation through songs.”

“They both write and perform”

Ihsan Al-Qaisi talked about their programs for the students with disabilities and said, “We have programs for the people of all ages.  We teach the disabled how to write plays and perform them. We initiated this project in January 2022. I ask the families of children with disabilities to raise them as individuals respecting freedom, justice and equality. They should not talk about negative things near them.”
