ART & MUSIC SUMMER CLASSES FOR SPECIAL NEEDS

Ages: 5 – 10 years

Dates: Saturdays, July 3 – 31
Time: 11am – 12:15pm

This specialized therapy program combines the visual arts with the performing arts! Art, music and play are all instinctive traits that allow children of all ages and abilities to express themselves and aid in their learning skills. Certified Art and Music Therapists will encourage children with development disabilities to build their communication, motor and social skills, while connecting with others.

Session 1 & 2: Focus on visual arts including drawing, painting and clay. Participants will learn about self-symbols and metaphors.

Session 3 & 4: Focus on alternative ways to self-express using music. Children will sing, explore different instruments, and move to the music!

Session 5: Children will have a chance to combine their skills using both mediums on the last day!
