Featured Article: Art Therapy Can Help
For individuals with learning disabilities, life can present many challenges. Looking beyond the academic, physical, and social difficulties, individuals with learning disabilities frequently experience emotional struggles. Studies have shown that lowered self-esteem, depression, and increased feelings of loneliness, stress, and anxiety are common experiences for individuals with learning disabilities. Art therapy can help reduce these negative feelings, while increasing an individuals’ self-awareness, and improving their overall emotional wellbeing.
