Sažetak
This paper presents a theoretical framework which supports the interpretation of the role of the shadow theatre in the (re)habilitation of children with disabilities. Children’s' participation in the shadow theatre may benefit the development of their social competencies, especially their communication skills, but also the development of speech. The paper especially wishes to point out the acknowledgment that the developmental level of speech depends on the level of fine movements of the fingers. Shadow theatre, alongside floortime approach, using the movement of fingers, hands and the whole body, provides a beneficial stimulation for the development of speech, at the same time affecting the holistic development of a child. Floortime approach enables children to investigate emotions in a safe environment, it promotes creative thinking, problem-solving skills and diverting attention to subtler nuances of non- verbal communication. The experience gathered from participating in the shadow theatre are beneficial to all children, and most especially to those with disabilities. Floortime approach and shadow theatre are only a few of the possible approaches and tools for the successful process of (re)habilitation, as well as inclusion of children with disabilities.
