Coloring Therapy

Coloring is an activity that can benefit people of all ages, and abilities. Coloring has therapeutic benefits for children with ADHD and autism that help to improve their concentration, creativity, and motor skills.

Focus and Concentration:
Children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) often have difficulty staying focused on tasks. Coloring can be a great way to help them improve their concentration. The repetitive motions of coloring can have a calming effect on the brain, helping children to focus on the task at hand which can be beneficial for children with ADHD.

Increase Motor Skills and Social Interaction:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior and social interaction. Coloring can be a great way to help these children improve their fine motor skills and their ability to focus on a task for an extended period of time. Coloring is also a great way for children with autism to engage with family and friends.

Expression and Creativity:
Coloring is a great activity for children with autism that allows for expression and creativity. Children who have difficulty with verbal communications may find it easier to communicate and express themselves through art. Their color choices, and where to apply them may give you some insight on how they may perceive the world around them, and their favorite colors.

Reducing Stress and Anxiety:
Coloring can help to reduce stress and anxiety for children with ADHD and autism. Coloring can be very relaxing. Coloring can have a calming effect on the brain, helping children to focus on the task at hand. Coloring unlike many other tasks is totally under the control of the child. What to color, colors to use, and where to apply it are up to the child without stressful requirements. When finished many children feel a sense of accomplishment that can boost their self-esteem.
