Significant purpose of drama for students with special needs is in cultivating the twin points of confidence building and self-expression; these are significant apparatuses in education building, and a confident student is bound to learn well and to appreciate learning as a rule. For students with challenging conduct or issues interacting, drama gives a chance to let off energy inside the limits of the actual exercise.

Drama also boosts the communication skills of students with special needs. Communication skills and group negotiation skills established through drama can be fed back into other subjects. It is worth bearing in mind that some students will find ‘untaught’ group work and communication skills hard, so do not make assumptions that certain things will come automatically. Drama makes an important contribution to the ‘how to’ of these skills.
