Autistry Studios: Using Creative Approaches in Working With Youth and Adults Within The Autism Spectrum

With an increase in rates of autism in the past ten years, people are learning more about the causes and treatment modalities for individuals and families living within the Autism Spectrum. Download this podcast to explore how Autistry Studios uses creative approaches to engage youth and adults with Autism and Asperger's Disorders. About Autistry Studios Autistry Studios grew out of Janet Lawson's private psychotherapy practice in Mill Valley, California where she worked with many teen and young adult clients with social/communication challenges. In September 2008, Janet's husband Dan Swearingen, an astrophysicist/software designer and avid model builder (as well as an Aspie!) joined her, and together they began offering model-building classes. Soon afterward, Nate Yates joined them to lead filmmaking workshops. Amarjit (AJ) Kaur joined the team to provide therapeutic services. Jen Hirt quickly followed, bringing her talents as an artist working in clay, fabric and stained glass. Together this team can build anything! With such a dynamic and diverse team, Autistry Studios provides youth and adult students a space to be creative and learn without labels and judgment.
