Some ways to use art to promote social & emotional learning in children with ASD. Introduction to 6-part series including free downloads.
In my own mental health and social skills work with individuals, groups and classes on the autism spectrum, art-based interventions have for some time been an important part of my repertoire.
Although I am neither an artist nor an “art therapist,” many of my free resources, as well as portions of my published books, include therapeutic exercises incorporating sketching, drawing, coloring and various creative applications of provided images.
This six-part series summarizes my ideas and resources for using drawing, coloring and other kinds of visual creativity to facilitate social and emotional learning, particularly with young people on the autism spectrum.
Most of the printable materials shown can be downloaded for free from this website.
