Ed will be presenting his lecture “Art Therapy and ASD: Ethical Treatment of the Growing Spiritual Epidemic” at two upcoming conferences:

-   Reaching Out: Responding to Community Needs - Hofstra University Graduate Creative Arts Therapy Program Annual Conference - Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011, 11:00 am - Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, North Campus
-  Autism From The Inside Out - Conference hosted by FREE - Friday, May 6, 2011, Academy of St. Joseph’s

In this lecture, Ed explains how and why the powerful forces at work during image creation (art) facilitate transformational healing. He also demonstrates why art therapy is particularly effective when working with individuals with ASD, which is often misunderstood as only a developmental disorder. Participants experience and learn the importance of working with the intangible but perceptible flow of creative energy, and its correlation to therapeutic work.
