Imagine, Create, Celebrate:
Art for Special Kids
Tactile Exploration
Art can provide the opportunity for sensory exploration through engagement with different materials from soft magic clay to wet paints and textured surfaces.
Motor Skills
Adaptive handles for brushes, finger painting, and building with clay can help strengthen fine motor skills.
Descriptive Language
Art can help increase vocabulary by helping children identify what they see, such as animals in a painting, colors, patterns, and shapes.
Grow their creative confidence
Each creative activity allows a child to embrace a new challenge in a low-demand environment. Creativity is all about the process, so it is essential that children are allowed to infuse what they love into any project.
Creating connections
Creative activities allow students to explore new experiences, overcome challenges, and even build connections. Noticing a fellow student drawing a lot of superheroes or cute animals can help create a social launching point.
