Artworxx: A Program for Teen Girls with ASD

The Yale Center for British Art Education department teaches a bimonthly collaborative museum and studio art program to teen girls with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) as part of the Initiative for Girls and Women with Autism Spectrum Disorders at the Yale Child Study Center. Over the last ten years, ASD interventionists and researchers have begun to appreciate that the development of socialization and communication processes for girls and women is quite different from that of boys and men. The Initiative is designed to address these communication and socialization differences through recreational and communal activities. These activities allow our participants to pursue their particular interests and leisure activities in a safe and supportive environment.
