š—”š—Æš—¼š˜‚š˜ š˜š—µš—² š—Æš—¼š—¼š—ø In 2006, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and Autism Nova Scotia partnered to develop a recreational art program that provided a safe and supportive environment for participants to express themselves creatively. In these classes, artists work in collaboration with autism support specialists and volunteers to provide meaningful and positive art experiences for children and young adults on the autism spectrum. Richly illustrated and accompanied with real-life stories, curriculum choices, and lesson plans, š˜¼š™Ŗš™©š™žš™Øš™¢ š˜¼š™§š™©š™Ø invites the reader both to celebrate and to share in the optimism and promise inclusive programming holds for all of us. Autism Nova Scotia, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and Goose Lane Editions would like to recognize and give special thanks to Joan Craig for her incredible financial and visionary support, as well as The Craig Foundation, The Chawkers Foundation, Halifax Youth Foundation, and the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia for the funding provided for this publication.
