Workshop for Children with
Diverse Needs and Family
Empowering children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Learning Disabilities (LD) through creative expression
🧩 Why Art for Diverse Learners?
At Wellcation, we use art to support emotional regulation, sensory integration, communication, and confidence in children with unique learning and developmental needs. Each workshop is adapted based on the child’s strengths — not their challenges.
🎓 Who will be our instructor?
All workshops are led by a Registered Social Worker (RSW), licensed with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). With professional experience in schools, family services, and mental health care, your instructor understands both therapeutic principles and child development — blending clinical care with creativity.
