French Impressionist Edgar Degas once clarified that “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” While art is a form of expression, a means to connect to the world, for neurodivergent children the arts in its many forms can paint a landscape for self-discovery, chip away at anxiety, and lift self-esteem.
And it can also remind us that sometimes the most beautiful art comes from seeing the world in a different way. For many kids who learn and think differently, the classroom can prove challenging. However, by providing a creative outlet, sensory engagement, and a structured environment the arts offer a unique space where neurodivergent kids can thrive.
On this episode, we raise the curtain on a California college prep school where art is life and life is art for its twice-exceptional students. Next, our panel of national experts paints a clearer portrait of the benefits of engaging neurodivergent children in the arts. And later, you’ll meet our latest Difference Maker, a nonverbal teenage Florida artist whose vivid creations speak volumes about his talent.
