📌 Important Notes:

This resource includes Summer SEL Directed Drawing Set 2 only, not the complete summer bundle.

Students can participate through drawing, speaking, pointing, or other communication methods that work for them. Drawings do not need to look identical, and students can approach creative mistakes in their own ways.

Communication strategies should be taught flexibly, with attention to different communication styles and individual needs.

This is an art therapy inspired educational activity, not a formal art therapy treatment protocol.
