Art with Buddies at Rosewood Arts Centre

Rosewood Arts Centre, in partnership with We Care Arts, has expanded its youth programming to reach out to young children on the Autism Spectrum.

This fall, the first Art with Buddies class was offered to children ages three through six and their parents, providing them with the opportunity to work together to develop creative projects and strategies for use in the classroom and at home.

“Art with Buddies was inspired by my son Liam. He, like the kids we want to work with, has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD),” explained Andrew Dailey, Program Supervisor at Rosewood Art Centre. “As a parent, I saw too few opportunities to get him involved in art classes that were tailored to his specific sensory needs. Our goal was to bring a sensory-friendly art class experience to parents of kids with ASD at a nominal cost.”

Established more than 30 years ago, We Care Arts is a Kettering-based organization that provides people with emotional and developmental

disabilities the opportunity, space and training to create artwork, while developing independence and building self-esteem.

“We Care Arts has been instrumental in designing the program, as well as procuring the grant funding to make it all happen,” Dailey said.

The classes, held once a week at Rosewood Arts Centre, encourage children to create art while exploring the sensory experiences of sight, taste, touch, smell and feel. Parents learn artbased activities and creative tools to help their child’s development outside of the classroom.

“We don’t stress the ‘sit down and pay attention’ aspect,” said Jess Kucinski, an instructor for Art with Buddies and We Care Arts. “Rather, children are free to focus in whatever way is best for them.”

Another session of Art with Buddies is scheduled to begin in late January 2016. For more information, visit playkettering.org or call Rosewood Arts Centre at 296-0294.
