Last Spring, ArtSpan launched the Pragmatic Arts Program to provide arts classes for students who struggle with peer relationships and social skills.

Conducted by an expressive arts therapist, Cecile Reve, these classes highlight visual and dramatic arts to convey social expectations and self-expression for elementary and middle school school aged students living with Autistic Spectrum disorders or any other social cognition challenge.

The curriculum goals of the Pragmatic Arts Program have been established so students will experience social interaction and be encouraged to define social skills and relate them to their own experiences. Students in the program will be invited to work in partners and groups to encourage communication and cooperation.

Parents of registered students will be asked to meet with Cecile Reve before the beginning of the session.
