The LEFTOVERS Workbook/DVD set was developed by Education Through Therapeutic Arts (ETTA) founders Deah Schwartz Ed.D., CTRS, and Anne Wilford, M.A. MFT — each with 20+ years experience in therapy, education, and improvisational theatre. They developed this curriculum to help educators, therapists and facilitators break through old barriers with new, creative approaches in a simple, easy-to-run format that will keep both you and your participants engaged.
