This area is intended for our Therapy Xploriment kids to xplore their skills through creativity. All of our activities promote the skills that many OTs will work on, including fine motor coordination, visual motor integration, cognitive problem solving, and sensory integration. What’s extra special about the Monarch Room is the social-emotional component. Kids are encouraged to “spread their wings” and come away from these sessions learning something new about themselves and with a piece of art for their “emotional memory collection.” An emotional memory collection is a collection of art we’ve once created that allows us to recall the emotional state we were in when we made it. Many children, whether neurodiverse or neurotypical, are challenged with articulating feelings and emotions. The artistic avenue of expression has incredible benefits to human emotional/psychological well being.
