Using unique art experiences and materials in a small group setting, certified teacher and artist Julie Kotler opens doors of communication for students with developmental challenges. Children using art materials are taught to their ability, not their disability.  Over time, Julie Kotler has used this unique method of teaching art to integrate the child’s senses and develop awareness of what the child can do with art. 

 

Children use their drawings and paintings to communicate, thereby creating a dialogue when conventional language is lagging.  Furthermore, improved self-esteem is clearly evident as the children create their own works of art.

 

Julie Kotler and Palette Partners, LLC create an experience for a child that is enriching.  For more information and class schedules contact Julie@...
