What is Arts 4 Us Specialty?

Arts 4 Us Specialty is an arts therapy programme for school age children, tweens and teens living with Autism Spectrum and other related disorders held at the Orakei Community Centre. Arts therapy offers a unique form of support for those on the autism spectrum by promoting communication, emotional growth and social interaction, as well as creative self expression. Unlike regular art class, art therapy combines the process of healing through engaging with materials and expression of what one is thinking.
