- Developing personal talents, gifts and abilities leading to increased self esteem.
- For our participants who are not able to express ideas and choices, creative activities can provide sensory stimulation and a shared experience.
- Social interactions, making friends and establishing connections with others.
- Improving cognitive skills through mental stimulation.
- Gaining a sense of achievement and sharing this with others.
