Wellness & Arts Class

Our Wellness & Arts class nurtures creativity, healthy habits, independence, and social connection within a welcoming and inclusive environment. Each session brings together a small group of participants, guided by one or two dedicated facilitators.

​

The class begins with a grounding routine that includes reviewing a visual schedule and engaging in calming activities such as gentle stretching, chair yoga, or mindful breathing with sensory objects. This helps set a relaxed tone and ease participants into the session.

​

Next, participants explore a hands-on creative art activity, working on accessible projects like painting, collage, beading, or sculpting with clay or dough. Each activity is supported with clear, step-by-step visual guides that emphasize self-expression and choice-making.

​

Following the art portion, the group shifts to preparing a healthy snack or light meal using simple, interactive recipes—such as yogurt parfaits, veggie wraps, smoothies, or mini pita pizzas. This segment incorporates picture-based recipe cards, pre-measured ingredients, and both visual and verbal prompts to support sequencing, engagement, and food safety.

​

After preparing their food, participants share a mindful eating experience in a relaxed, social setting. This time fosters conversation, gratitude, and the use of communication supports.

The session concludes with a reflection period, where participants are invited to share their artwork or favorite moments from the day, encouraging confidence, community, and self-awareness.
