Creative Arts
Miriam Foundation, through its collaboration with the Bitton Family is proud to offer the Creative and Therapeutic Arts Program.
Creative arts are widely accepted as promoting emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being. It enables individuals to share aspects of their lives that words alone may be unable to capture and provide individuals who struggle to communicate verbally with an alternative means of communication. It provides the opportunity to express emotions and experiences through artistic means.
The Creative and Therapeutic Arts Program is designed for children ages 3 and up, adolescents and adults with mild to moderate ASD and Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
