FROM COMPLIANCE TO VALUE
​

My son started drawing as a compliance task in his ABA sessions that basically sounded like, “draw a circle, no, draw a circle, no.”

​As time passed and he started drawing his perceptions of people, things, and events, we began to get valuable information where there were communication breakdowns. I found this to be a porthole into his mind.

As a young man with severe speech and language comprehension issues, drawing had come to be a way he would describe things to me that he did not have words for.

This process then became a way of life for us, a way that we could hang out together without much.

DRAWING CULTURE
FROM OURSELVES

As humans, we reflect the world we live in, our dreams, and our aspirations of what can be through stories.

All cultures rely on storytelling to build connections, foster social engagement, increase trust and awareness, generate emotional connection, and to encourage learning about others. People deliver different histories and ideas with unique ways of explaining, and drawing is one of the many fabulous ways the world tells stories.​

Verbal communication and perspective- taking are often difficult for people on the autism spectrum, and drawing their perspectives and ideas gives creativity, weight, and meaning to their stories.​

Storytelling strengthens our community of neurodiverse artists. And when that happens, everyone wins, and when everyone wins, we have become inclusive, through our ideas.
