Recensioner i media

Odyssey Now is an excellent handbook, designed for practical use by drama group facilitators working principally with people with profound, severe and multiple learning difficulties. The material it contains though can be adapted to meet the needs of people of all age ranges and could be suitably used with mixed ability groups or with people experiencing mental health problems. The range of settings in which the ideas put forward in this book would be appropriate includes schools, hospitals, day centres, adult education classees and formal therapy groups ... This book is literally packed with lively and innovative suggestions as to how a particular myth can be used to enhance the communication skills of people with special needs.
