N/NY-SS-293- Invitations to Create: Strategies for School- Based Art Therapy Groups with Neurodiverse Clients
Participants will learn strategies for providing art therapy groups in a school setting. Through hands-on activities we will explore developmentally- appropriate, evidenced-based “invitations to create” that support the unique needs of neurodiverse clients. Participants will create a toolbox of strategies for managing the challenges and for promoting personal well-being.

Jennifer is a licensed therapist and certified Synergetic Play Therapy provider with a background in art, play, and expressive therapies. But more than that—she is someone who understands what it’s like to love a big-feeling kid and wonder how to help them thrive.
She works with kids (ages 3–14), parents, teens, and adults who are feeling overwhelmed by… well, life. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, OCD, grief, or just the day-to-day stress of being a sensitive person in a not-so-sensitive world, she strives to find tools and ways of being that feel doable, creative, and actually helpful.
