This program gives families a chance to witness their child experience success in a welcoming and creative learning environment. Throughout the course of this program parents and caregivers will gain skills in behavioral methods that they can employ when bringing their child into a community setting. Families will join Jennifer Oppitto Candiano, an Art Educator trained in Art Therapy, in fun interactive gallery experiences that provide opportunities for everyone to look at and talk about art in a group setting. Then off to the studio for hands on art making activities that encourage experimentation with new materials, processes and creative play. Groups will include up to 10 families affected by autism. We welcome parents, grandparents, siblings and teachers. The only requirement is that all registered guests must make art! Limited to 10 children. For more information call 516 484 – 9338 ext. 12.
