Description
This is a group for the siblings of autistic children aged between 8 and 11 years of age where the focus is exclusively on the child and how they want to express themselves through their art. Through drawing, painting and collage siblings can express emotions safely, build confidence and connect with themselves as well as other siblings. No artistic skills are needed. The focus is on the process and not the finished product.
