AUTISM CREATES
Autism Creates is an educational initiative designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other exceptionalities. The classes harness art and art-making activities as a means of promoting expression and social interaction between children with ASD and their teachers, caregivers, and peers through activities in the classroom studios and galleries. While children with ASD often struggle with verbal communication, social relations, and sensory development, creative art-making activities enable them to foster new means of self-expression and communication.
Monthly workshops are hosted on-site at MOCA Jacksonville for children with ASD, ages 6 and older, and their families. Families will explore the galleries, create art, and participate in sensory activities. Join us the second Saturday of each month from 11 a.m.-12 p.m.
This program is supported by the Edna Sproull Williams Foundation.
