COURSE DETAILS

Overview

We learn how adults can help children grow in independence, mastery of materials, and the articulation of their own ideas through art therapy. Although these youngsters have many disabilities, the principles and approaches demonstrated are applicable to work with all children.

A registered art therapist at a school for the blind demonstrates ways of working with high functioning visually impaired youngsters in both small and large groups. Many different ways of promoting expression and reflection are illustrated.

There are two parts:

  • We’ll Show You What We’re Gonna Do by Judith A. Rubin, Ph.D., ATR-BC
  • Creating, For Me by Susan Aach, M.Ed., ATR
