How is it done at TUTU?

Art therapy at the TUTU Center pursues its goals through visual arts, often using elements of:

• Active music therapy (singing, playing instruments, movement with music improvisation) and receptive music therapy (listening to music, relaxation, and visualization)
• Drama therapy (theater, drama – playing various social roles in improvised situations, pantomime)
• Choreotherapy (dance, movement)
• Book therapy (the use of selected or specially created reading materials for therapeutic purposes, such as fairy tales)

The starting point for the design and implementation of the classes is the diagnosis of the child’s individual needs and goals. The classes are based on the developmental and therapeutic effects of art and the creative process, but also often on the experience of being in a group of siblings with similar challenges, goals, needs, at a similar developmental age, where a sense of community, acceptance, and self-worth can be (re)built.
