Event Details
April is National Autism Awareness Month! To celebrate and bring awareness to individuals with Autism, the Life Skills Students from Hampton Bays High School have created pieces of art working with a variety of materials and using various techniques allowing them to create artwork they are proud of. Art has been shown to benefit individuals with Autism and other disabilities in so many ways. It promotes self-esteem, builds fine motor and problem-solving skills, and enhances communication, but most importantly, it brings joy to the artist and provides an important outlet for self-expression.
