The Art of Working
“The Art of Working” focuses on cultivating soft skills vital to obtaining and maintaining employment while exploring the fundamentals of visual art, theater, poetry, music, and dance. We adapt this program to be relevant for teens and adults with disabilities of all ages who have work as a goal, most often in partnership with schools, Adult Day Programs, and community organizations. In the most in-depth version of this program (“The Art of Working – Intensive”), we film participants doing scenario work, then play the video back, allowing them to observe their own presentation as well as practice giving feedback to their peers.

Community Programs (arts organizations, community organizations, friendship clubs, Parks and Recreation)
Training Programs (any kind of professional development setting)
