Our Drama School continually strives to learn and grow as the world changes in relation to access and inclusion practices. 

This instruction includes general knowledge and empathetic understanding training, as well as the implementation of the following mandatory in-class resources and teaching methods:

• All classes have fidgets available to them, should a student require a fidget tool
• All classes have noise-reducing headphones available for students who need them
• All classes have access to visual timers (sand timers, bubble timers, and visual clock timers)
• All areas of the theatre are accessible for students in wheelchairs
  
  Social stories can be found below to help navigate our In-Person Day-Long Camps, Saturday Classes, and Online Classes. A Social Story is a tool to help improve a child’s understanding of expectations during an unfamiliar event and were originally designed to support students who are neurodiverse. However, this can be a useful tool for any student who is unsure about what to expect from a new experience. We share these resources to make NCT classes inclusive for ALL students.

If you would like to let us know about your young person’s social/developmental/physical needs, please give Tosha Marie, our Director of Education, a call at 615-254-4664. Being a fully inclusive environment, we will make accommodations to meet the needs of your young person regardless of their diagnosis, disability, or medical need. The more we know about your student and the strategies that work best with and for them, the better we can serve them!
