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.
