YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Art and PLay
Art and Play is a program which provides Art Activities for kids with special needs and/or physical disabilities while also pairing them up with a neurotypical developing peer. Art has been proven to provide a therapeutic affect on both our emotional and physical well being.
Here are 5 reasons how Art can impact a child.
It allows a child to express themselves without having to be verbal.
It facilitates connections with peers.
It encourages turn taking.
Buddy Art can help children grow confidence.
Buddy Art can also help improve motor skills and control, hand-eye coordination and muscle development can be achieved through the different modalities of art.
These are just 5 reasons Buddy Art can help. There are so many more reasons! The Brave Warrior Project will be announcing dates throughout the summer.
