This weekly acrylic painting class is designed specifically for people with a development age of 6– 18 with special needs, including but not limited to developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and learning disabilities. This class will be a supportive and creative space for self-expression, social interaction, and personal growth. Led by an experienced instructor with a Ph.D. in Special Education, students will be guided through both collaborative and individual projects that reflect their unique interests and experiences. The class encourages communication through art, helping students build confidence, friendships, and a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
