Welcome to ArtExpress - Creative Art Therapy for Children

 

At ArtExpress , we offer a fun, creative, and therapeutic art program designed specifically for children with special needs. Led by a licensed art therapist, our sessions allow children to explore their creativity through painting, drawing, sculpting, and other artistic mediums. No prior art experience is required—just a desire to express and explore!

Why Choose ArtExpress ?

Our program is carefully tailored to each child’s developmental goals, offering personalized activities that help improve:

  • Fine motor skills
  • Sensory integration
  • Emotional expression
  • Social interaction

Art provides a safe, non-verbal way for children to communicate and connect with their inner world, all while having fun in a relaxed, judgment-free environment.

What to Expect

● Individualized Sessions: We focus on your child’s unique needs, guiding them through art-making that fosters self-expression, relaxation, and personal growth.
● Group Sessions (Coming Soon): Plans are in place for social skills groups that will encourage collaboration, teamwork, and communication through group art projects. Each session begins with an opening circle, followed by guided art-making, and ends with reflection time where students are encouraged to share and discuss their artwork. These steps help children build confidence, emotional regulation, and problem-solving abilities.
