I am a single parent of 2 kids. This for my son who is under the spectrum….. he likes coloring…. Have not tried anything else for now….. I believe art could help him reduce aggression nd keep his mind calm…
This would be of great help.
This is superb. A great way to practice independently by our neurodiverse adults during their leisure or even otherwise. Thanks for sharing.
I hope your group enjoy trying out the lessons Sushmita.
Thanks
