Arts ‘n Autism is Growing
Dec 2nd, 2008 | By Rick | Category: Arts 'n Autism
In the spring of 2004, Covenant Presbyterian Church piloted an eight-week program that served 17 children, ages 5-13, with autism. The children were instructed in martial arts, music therapy and visual arts. Each component was carefully designed to meet the unique needs of autistic children through an arts medium. There was a public performance at the end of the pilot program.
Since that time, Arts ‘n Autism has continued to grow. At present, it meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 5:30. In January of 2009, we will add Wednesday programming as well. The Summer Program has expanded as well, currently holding a 2-week Summer Camp.
