TESTIMONIALS
“As a building leader I have seen the phenomenal effects and impacts of Art Intervention Dynamics. Students who were largely non-verbal, have experienced the most gains. Socially, these students have become more confident and inclusive with the student body. Art Intervention Dynamics is more than an Art Strategy, it's a strategy to help bring out the best in students who otherwise may not get the opportunity to express themselves

“Visual Thinking Strategy (VTS) has improved some of our students with Autism or Intellectual disabilities communication skills. Several of the students in our Life Skills Classroom, who struggle to verbally communicate or are nonverbal, have been improving in using their communication skills to express themselves. One student in particular was always so difficult to hear and understand, recently stopped me to tell me they had a job and wanted me to come visit them at work. It caught me off guard. Another student who would follow her para around and not communicate at all except for comments like "who dat" or "what dat,' is actually doing more without para support and even helped a new Life Skills student locate their locker and get settled in the day.
I am seeing so much positivity out of the experience the students have with VTS. I hope it is something that will continue to be used to assisting the Life Skills student to continue to develop independence and communication skills”.

We are unlocking their desire to learn
There is a great need for more effective learning strategies in the Special Education System. With a teacher shortage, overwhelmed teachers, and students with maladaptive behaviors due to a lack of not being able to communicate... we, as a society, need help and fast.
In all Special Education schools or organizations, there are typically only one on one instruction learning strategies and they are inadequate when it comes to improving language, focus and behavior. They only offer extrinsic reward strategies (or token systems) which have to always be provided in order to get a child or young adult to do what is asked of them or to improve their learning. The individual with special needs has no inner motivation to improve or grow in learning...thereby resulting in poor performance or progression.
Art Intervention Dynamics offers peer group learning strategies that improve language, focus, and behavior in a short amount of time. Our strategy is unique because it offers a method that helps students learn because they want to learn. It produces intrinsic rewards and unlocks their desire to communicate. They want to learn and grow because for the first time, they are being heard by peers and adults without being told what to do. Nearly every student I've taught this to becomes "social butterflies". It's like watching them blossom and communicate for the first time.
