Please call 516 484- 9338 x 12 Nassau County Museum of Arts Autism & the Arts Program promotes expression in children with autism by using visual material as a catalyst for communication. The program is inspired by studies suggesting that the power of art extends to children with autism as well as their families, and that art provides opportunities to communicate in different modalities. Led by Art Educator trained in Art therapy Jennifer Oppito Candiano through a new collaboration with the Art Access department of the Queens Museum of Art, this program employs a multimedia approach, using art to enhance experiences and learning and is designed to be a fun, interactive social experience that promotes independence in students as they go about the process of making and exploring works of art. A portion of each class is devoted to visiting the museum’s galleries and viewing works of art, that become a springboard for communication, promoting discussion in art, expression of ideas and inspiration for the workshop activities. Autism & the Arts is made possible by partial funding from the North Shore Autism Circle. NASSAU COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART ONE MUSEUM DRIVE, ROSLYN HARBOR, NY 11576 WWW.NASSAUMUSEUM.ORG
