The Center for Applied Drama and Autism (CADA), founded in 2012 at 140 E. Market Street in Akron, is a nonprofit offering theatre-based programs for autistic people and youth and adults with disabilities. Sessions use applied-drama techniques including theatre games, improvisation, role play, character study, voice and body work, mask work and Playback Theatre, in an inclusive setting intended to build social and emotional skills rather than to change participants. Program formats, ages and whether a summer camp is offered are not stated on the pages reviewed.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Center for Applied Drama and Autism directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.
