I imagine the idea is not to necessarily make these kids completely comfortable with doing improv, but use some of the improv skills in their daily life. So if they're able to do improv in front of a class, giving a speech might not feel as bad as it did before their improv experience. Or they might be able to go to the beach when before they were too anxious about being seen in a bathing suit.
Kind of an exposure therapy, but where the exposure isn't directly the situation they're anxious about.
