Creativity Unlimited with Mrs. Jade

A welcoming, weekly art class designed for students ages 10–17 with down syndrome, autism, or other forms of neurodiversity. This parent- or caregiver-led class provides a supportive space for creative expression, connection, and exploration.

Each session features fun, simple, and engaging art projects that encourage creativity, build confidence, and celebrate individuality. With a focus on flexibility and enjoyment, students are encouraged to create at their own pace—without pressure or expectations.

Caregivers stay and participate alongside their student, offering support and encouragement throughout the session. This collaborative approach helps foster connection while making the creative process accessible and fun for everyone.
