Today is National Inspire your heart with art day! We wanted to show off some of the amazing art work that our kiddos have created recently. We also wanted to talk about the different ways that art can benefit children with ASD.
Art can significantly benefit children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in many different ways. Different art forms can provide them with a wide range of sensory experiences.
Art provides children with a nonverbal outlet to express themselves and their emotions. This gives them the opportunity to connect with others in a low-pressure setting. It can assist children with social skills, emotional regulation, and completion of art projects can boost self esteem.
Different forms of art can also assist with fine motor skills development. Certain activities such as drawing, using scissors to cut things, and placing beads on string, can improve hand strength, hand-eye coordination, and improve dexterity.
Go out and inspire your heart with art today!
