Central Library

Program Room

Join us for a DIY (do-it-yourself) activity for teens with autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing sensitivities or disabilities.

This month, we will be using a variety of crafting materials to make bad art.

There are no artistic expectations during this program. Teens are encouraged to be as creative and imaginative as they want with zero judgement while creating their uniquely bad art!

Caregivers are welcome to attend with their teen.
