Discovery Park of America is launching Weaving for Wellness, a free educational program designed for youth and adults with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, learning differences and other disabilities.

Made possible through a generous grant from the Juanita H. Fasola Foundation, Inc., this hands-on program combines practical life skills instruction with a creative outlet that supports focus, confidence and emotional wellness.

Participants will learn the basics of textile and fiber arts while developing skills in planning, sequencing, measuring and completing multi-step tasks. Each participant will create a handwoven scarf to take home, gaining both a practical skill and a sense of accomplishment.

Weaving can provide a calming, structured environment while helping participants build patience, concentration, problem-solving skills and independence. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
