Synergy Adaptive Arts
Empowering Creativity
Crafting an Inclusive Space for Arts Education and Skill Development
Synergy is a multi-disciplinary arts program for children ages 8 and up with special needs. Our goal with this program is to bring access to quality arts education to a historically underserved youth community that is in need of resources for their development.
This unique program allows special needs kids to interact with other peers on a regular basis through weekly dance, percussion, and visual arts classes. The curriculum is designed and structured specifically to aid students in developing social emotional skills and other fundamental skills like balance, coordination, and musicality, within a welcoming and inclusive safe environment.
OSV is proud to have partnered with live Music Center, the City of Vacaville’s Therapeutic Recreation Program, The Royal School of Ballet and Joyful Art Studio to make these children’s dream a reality again after the pandemic shuttered many opportunities for these children.
