YDFA is an inclusive theater group open to both special and general education youth, and young adults that builds friendships and support among the actors, volunteers, parents, and special education community.
“This show was based on people coming together, to play, to learn, and to celebrate their individuality. Furthermore, the audience reflected the diversity of the children in the show; there was a palpable aura of acceptance and understanding among all in attendance. There was a sense of community and support that research is consistently showing to be an integral aspect of well-being for all humans.”
