Abstract	The paper describes how creative dramatics activities can be structured to promote appropriate leisure and recreational behaviors in autistic adolescents. The foundation of such an approach is the spontaneous, guided, and improvisational play processes of children. In addition to leisure and recreational skill development, creative dramatics are suggested to promote social skills, play skills, and increased awareness of self and others. Guidelines for adapting creative dramatics for adolescents with autism include assessment of the task for component parts, interest level, and prerequisite skills. After adaptation is accomplished, participants' strengths and weaknesses should be analyzed in the determination of structure, mode of presentation, and grouping. A case study illustrates the adaptation of two activities (pantomime and sound effects tasks) for autistic adolescents. (CL)
