New School Year 2016-17

Dear art therapy students and families:

Welcome back to the 2016-2017 school year! 

The Alton School District’s Art Therapy team is once again excited to be highlighting some of the wonderful happenings that will be taking place again this year in the art therapy program through the use of the ACUSD Blogsite that we launched last year.  

Art Therapy provides a much needed creative outlet for students who have met the district’s criteria for social and emotional support services who are finding traditional “talk-based” supports to not be effective on their own.  Using the art materials as their primary communication tool, the student works with their art therapist to develop and practice essential skills to help them focus and cope with challenges effecting their school day.

We invite you to return to the Alton Art Therapy blogsite and explore all of the information we share throughout the year. 

You can access the blogsite in one of two ways:

1)     Enter the following link:    http://acusdarttherapy.blogspot.com/

2)    Scan the following QR code using your QR reader on your smart phone and link directly to the blogsite:

Please consider subscribing to our main blog and individual pages to be alerted when new posts are published by entering your email address in the "Follow by Email" section on the right.   

As always, we value and appreciate your support and interest in the art therapy program!

Sincerely,

The Alton Community School District Art Therapy Program
