Applied art therapy allows children to make discoveries in the field of sensitivity, imagination and creation.
On the motor level, it allows work around fine psychomotricity.
On the intellectual level, plastic art offers a range of means of communication with the other which allows each one to express emotions, thoughts, needs other than by speaking.
On the emotional level, children will discover a world of creation: they will dare and explore new horizons.

Art is child's play!

Intervention in nurseries and schools
​
Kindergarten is the first place to identify difficulties after nursery.
This is the first contact with the community. It is therefore often the first time that the family has been warned of a problem, which makes this exchange difficult or even painful, which requires a lot of tact.
I can come and observe in class, carry out tests, interview, meet the parents before or after seeing the child.
I participate in the assessment of difficulty, with the teachers. I support and prepare the request for external care, if necessary.

Warning signs
Kindergarten teachers often finely identify atypical behaviors.
Children who are still young show less inhibition and the disorders are easier to spot before the latency period (around 7 years).
The regular relationship with parents facilitates exchanges and allows a relationship of trust. It is important to also point out what is positive alongside the problems ...
behavioral difficulties: bites, slaps, screams, rolls on the ground, shows no signs of pain when hurt, does not speak, remains alone.
complete lack of communication with peers or adults
excessive fear, repetitive, obsessive behavior, inability to play, draw,
swaying or repetitive movements
running away, violence towards others or oneself, insults, destruction
withdrawal into oneself, no interest in what is happening, exceptional successes or significant delay in relation to peers, lack of understanding of the simplest instructions
atypical movements, motor awkwardness, restlessness, lack of coordination
regressive attitudes: loss of cleanliness, mouths everything, separation difficulties with inconsolable crying, drooling
​
I only intervene with written permission from the parents.
