ARTS

Arts activities offer significant benefits for children with special needs, including children on the autism spectrum. Artistic expression provides alternative ways to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences, especially for children who may have limited verbal language. Through drawing, painting, music, movement, or modeling, children can express themselves freely in a safe and supportive environment.

Many artistic practices involve repetitive and structured actions, which can be calming and reassuring, while also allowing creativity and personal choice. These activities support attention, concentration, and the ability to follow sequences or routines.

Arts activities also contribute to emotional regulation and self-confidence. By creating something tangible, children experience a sense of achievement and pride, which strengthens self-esteem. 

Overall, arts-based activities support cognitive, emotional, sensory, and social development. They promote well-being, autonomy.
