Northeast Center for Special Care
Fine Arts and Performing Arts Program


Our belief is that the arts are important facets of the rehabilitation process and are valuable in promoting wellness for individuals with:
brain injury, neurobehavioral disorders, spinal cord injury, paralysis, respiratory disorders and who may be or have been on a mechanical ventilator.


The Fine Arts and Performing Arts Program encourages self-growth of our Resident-Neighbors while they participate in the building of community transferable skills.  

Through the visual arts (painting, sculpture, collage and environment building), writing and theater, music and movement, Our Resident-Neighbors become engaged in diverse forms, which tap many dimensions in their life experience.  

These modalities carry them into new avenues of creativity while seamlessly developing role recovery with new or renewed identities as artists, musicians, writers, and actors.  

Cognitive rehabilitation is also facilitated promoting improved concentration, problem solving, visual perceptual and motor planning skills. Self-expression naturally leads to emotional health, including the development of positive social and other life skills.
