These powerful programs focus on increasing the communication abilities of adults with autism through movement, yoga, visual arts and music. The artists seek to establish comfortable environments in which to practice important relational skills such as eye contact, verbal and nonverbal skills, participation, communication and interaction.
This unique course works well with nonverbal and verbal adults with autism. The several nonverbal adults have smiled, laughed and danced at the possibility to communicate through the arts.
The ARC of Montgomery County
ArtStream will continue its partnership with the ARC of Montgomery County for the 2011-2012 season. We offer courses in movement and drama for adults with disabilities.
The Frost School Oakmont Primary Program (formerly The Forbush School)
ArtStream has partnered with The Frost School to bring classes to students with autism, ages 5-15. Classes meet on Mondays from 12:00 - 2:00 pm beginning in Fall 2010
ArtStream’s Music Classes at the Frost School are a mix of songs and instruments, traditional and new, from cultures around the world. Time is spent exploring rhythms and melody while encouraging interaction and language use. Each class offers an introduction to new music, hands-on experiences with a variety of instruments, and opportunities for self-expression-- individually and as a group.
ArtStream’s Puppetry Classes at the Frost School give the students an opportunity to experience a variety of puppetry styles including hand puppets, rod puppets, and marionettes. Students develop fine motor skills through hands-on puppet manipulation. Puppetry also offers the students a creative outlet for self-expression; while encouraging positive interactions and language development; through storytelling, music and dance.
ArtStream's Dance Classes at the Frost school enourage movement and rhythm. Classes include opportunities for following choreography and free-dance expression.
