摘要：This paper presents the application of drama techniques in small creative socialisation groups and other approaches and programs as a potentially new complex of methods and techniques in preventing behavioural and functioning disorders in children and young people exposed to high-intensity risk factors during their growth, development, maturation and socialisation. It particularly stresses the possibility of applying dramatic expression in working with children and young people with special needs who have been placed in institutions because of their psychophysical or educational difficulties. In this paper, the experiences of applying drama techniques acquired in the two-year work as part of the program “Small Creative Socialisation Groups” with a population of children and young people with special needs placed in the institutions of the Vinko Bek Education Centre and the Special Hospital for the Protection of Children and Young People with Neurological and Motor System Dysfunction – Goljak. The results of a permanent evaluation of the work of small creative socialisation groups, obtained through quantitative analysis, by using evaluation scales and qualitative analysis, and through diaries recording the work of these groups, show that the elements of educational theatre as additional techniques can fit particularly well into the existing system of prevention. The experiences of the leaders of these groups also show the powerful effect that dramatic expression has had on numerous elements, like changing the perception, attitudes and behaviour of children with special needs who are exposed to additional high risks.
