Art therapeutic emotional-social training ART – TES®

'I am, I feel, I can.'

Classes for adults with intellectual disabilities (18+).

The main goal of the therapy is to improve the quality of life for adults with intellectual disabilities; to prevent life difficulties and to overcome obstacles on the path to self-realization.

ART-TES® is an original work program focusing on broadly understood personal development through art therapeutic activities.

During the therapy, we will develop essential competencies in life, including: self-awareness, subjectivity, decision-making, cooperation, creativity, flexibility in action, responsibility, sense of agency, self-reflection, belief in one's own abilities.

The structure of ART-TES®, i.e., art therapeutic emotional-social training, includes the following areas of therapy:

• Building 'I' awareness, i.e., developing awareness of what is within me.

• Building 'I-YOU' awareness, i.e., developing awareness of who is around me.

• Building 'I-WORLD' awareness, i.e., developing awareness of what is around me.

The structure, goals, and techniques of work are adapted to the needs and functioning of the therapy participants.
