Chill Art
Chill Art is a social skills coaching program for young adults 18+ on the autism spectrum that uses the medium of visual art as its learning platform.
Facilitated by professional visual arts coaches and supported by peer mentors, these interactive workshops use creative mediums such as painting, illustration, printmaking and collage to assist participants with abstract thinking, sensory regulation, self expression, social communication and fine motor skills.
