Credential Art Therapist and Autism Specialist

Creative and Fun Projects Designed for Success!

Art making is beneficial to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) due to their intense sensory needs; they generally benefit from more visual, auditory, kinesthetic and concrete, hands-on therapies.

A trained Art Therapist will be able to assess children's strengths as well as challenges through the media and the creative process. In addition, they can help determine developmental levels, emotional and behavioral issues, ego strengths, and more.
