SENSE Theatre was developed by Professor Blythe Corbett at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre and has been run as a research program for the past 10 years.

SENSE Theatre is a performance-based program for 12 18 year-olds, targeting social skills that includes trained peer actors and theatre techniques.

The SENSE Theatre program was expressly designed to target the socio-emotional challenges of autism by utilising well-established theatrical techniques to enhance their social competence.
