THERAPEUTIC APPROACH & PROGRAMS

Abilities Discovered offers many different art classes for Children (and young adults) with Autism & other diagnoses that present challenging behaviors.  All classes use different art modalities to build confidence, modify negative behaviors, & teach social skills- while learning a new skill & making friends. Art Therapy can help where other therapies have failed to bring out your child's social skills, by bringing out spontaneous interactions, increasing self-confidence, and exposing hidden abilities and talents.  Choose from these SATURDAY and after-school classes.
