MovementWorks® Round Table Session: 'Dance and Creativity - how do we measure it?'
This round table explores challenges in defining creativity to support development and learning. Dance offers opportunities for development of imaginative play, problem solving, motor skills and initiation of social behaviors. Despite this, the International Classification of Functioning does not include a domain for creativity. Consequently, there are limited/no measures to evaluate benefits of arts programs for individuals with developmental disorders.
This round table aims to develop items and definitions for inclusion in a new Creativity in Development Outcomes Measure (CDOM).
Ali Golding will present data from a dance program for autistic children exploring perspectives of parents, teachers and dance practitioners highlighting behavior, skills, social interaction and environmental supports as important outcomes.
Dido Green will present data from a review of dance in neurorehabilitation which highlighted potential positive impacts on body functions, emotional expression, social participation, and attitudinal change.
These findings will be presented for round table discussion to consider items and definitions for concepts to be included in the CDOM for evaluation of creative therapeutic programs across different contexts.
