Question: I have been receiving questions lately about autism and art therapy from the public. Could you please let me know if you know of an art therapist working with this population (private or with an organization)? Or if you know of an art therapist I might speak to about services in various locations. Thank you.
Our next board meeting is 4/19 and will focus on membership/recruitment. We are working with several members of VATA in supporting the one day art & community event with the VCU's Students for Social Action, to occur on 4/24 in Richmond. More to follow.
Mariko Saito, M.A., ATR-BC
VATA President
