Art Therapy

I am delighted to welcome autistic students to my studio. Art therapy is a wonderful way for children on the spectrum to express themselves, develop fine motor skills, and enhance their creativity in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Although I am not formally trained in autism, I possess an art degree and experience in guiding autistic artists. My method focuses on engaging with the distinct creativity of each student and cultivating their artistic abilities. At Follow Your Art, I integrate autistic students with their peers, creating a dynamic and inclusive space for everyone to grow and express themselves artistically.

Inclusive education, where autistic children learn alongside neurotypical peers, provides numerous advantages. It fosters social interactions, cultivates empathy and understanding among students, and contributes to a sense of community and inclusion. Such an environment enables all children to value diversity and acquire essential social skills within a nurturing and supportive setting. Additionally, art therapy highly beneficial for students with ADD and high anxiety. Engaging in creative activities helps improve focus, reduces stress, and provides a healthy outlet for self-expression. Art offers a calming effect, helping students manage their anxiety and enhance their overall well-being.

While I don't offer a separate class specifically for autistic or special needs students, private lessons are available for those seeking a more personalized experience.
