I started by mind mapping the different types of disabilities that i had worked with with performing arts, once i had done this i thought about the different things that come with those disabilities. For example when thinking about downs syndrome there are different things to consider such as, these children have hyper-flexible joints in the hip, knee and neck. This means that you have to ensure that they are warming up effectively to prevent injuries such as dislocating the joints. As well as this children with downs syndrome so not have clear speech, however learning different voice techniques that are learnt in singing and drama can help improve their quality of speech.
