The Art and Drama Therapy Institute, Inc. (ADTI) is
a medically supervised, therapeutic day treatment center for
adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. ADTI is
located in an economically deprived part of Northeast Washington,
D.C., less than three miles from the White House. The institute's
innovative approach to the care and treatment of adults with
intellectual and developmental disabilities through the use of
art, music, movement, and drama therapies, along with innovative
behavior management techniques, has been hailed by the President's
Committee on Mental Retardation and The Washington Post as “a
national model.” ADTI is
home to the Therapeutic Noh Theater®, the first
ensemble with intellectual and developmental disabilities in
the world to perform Therapeutic Noh Theater®, directed
by Master Teacher, Dr. Sirkku M. Sky Hiltunen. In addition, ADTI has
built its own authentic Keiko Komatsubara Noh Stage--the
first of only three in the United States. Dr. M.“Muggy
Do” Dickinson, is the Artitist Director of ADTI's Inspirational
Choir and Moroccan Ensemble, whose CD received two submissions
for a nomination for Grammy. CD and DVD are
currently available on Amazon.com under “Let
Us Fly.” |
