Understanding Autism, ADHD, AuDHD and What it means to be "Neurodiversity Affirming"
We’re going to be tracking our body’s sensations before and after all our Expressive Arts Activities. This short video explains how you make your first Body Map.
Do this before starting the Sensory Drawing Practice below.

Drawing a Body Map
Some of the biggest therapeutic benefits are in the dynamic process of playing music. In this short exercise we’re going to explore how to use drumming to decrease anxiety.

After Your Body Map do this Sensory Drawing Exercise
In this final exercise we’d like you to explore imagining what ‘new pathways’ would look like for you. Grab some paper and coloured pencils/markers.
Know that you don’t have to be an Artist. It could just be a series of symbols that helps you draw out where you are now to where you would like to be.
