Abstract
The intent of this thesis is to explore dance and movement therapy as a form of treatment in order to accomplish higher overall functioning, well being, and communication for those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Through the study of various forms of research including books, articles, interviews, videos, I will integrate the most effective, according to my resources, dance and movement therapy techniques and theories, and autism teaching methodologies, and create a teaching unit of lesson plans for a ten-week ballet-focused dance workshop.
