Art And Creativity Help Kids With Add

KidzArt Program Uses Creative Exercises to Address Needs of Kids with Attention Deficit Disorder

NEW BRAUNFELS, TX (Thursday, December 15, 2005) - As attention deficit disorder reaches widespread proportions, many parents are looking for ways to help their children express themselves while managing their challenges. Some children are using art lessons as a structured yet creative outlet that can bring out the innovative and imaginative side of kids with ADD, says Shell Herman, CEO of KidzArt.

“In addition to promoting self expression, the soothing atmosphere and orderly processes that we implement seems to calm the impulsive and restless nature of kids with ADD,” says Herman.

While children with ADD typically exhibit high energy and short attention spans, many are also very creative, some experts say. In support of that theory, KidzArt classes let children fully express themselves but also provide step-by-step guidance to improve their artistic skill and knowledge.

“We’ve found that children with ADD really respond to our calm, non-competitive environment,” says Herman. “They remain on task, are able to focus and complete beautiful drawings.”

Many parents are also pleased with confidence gains that their children achieve through KidzArt classes. “While kids with ADD often become frustrated by challenges, our methods allow them to be successful and give a boost to their self-esteem,” says Herman.
