Best Practices – Provider

Practice:​ ​Emily C Moises Adult Day Training (ADT)Center, under the direction of Nieves Moises, partnered with the local Arts Council to create painting classes and paintings expositions where individuals/artists are able to sell their work.  The artists are paid directly.  The ADT has also created an embroidery circle after an individual expressed a strong interest in learning how  to embroider.  The works were sold online and individuals received whatever they charged for their work..  This year artists in a painting class are working on a group project to develop a “Rights Wall” with separate individual paintings which will visually  depict  all of the individual rights  on the “Bill of Rights” and  topics about rights issues .  The paintings and “the Rights Wall”  will be used to educate the Individuals at the Center and be included in weekly activities, holidays and functions.

Who Benefits? How? Individuals who attend the Center, as well as individuals who visit the center will benefit.  The visual depiction in bright colors and large size will make it easier to see and understand for all who view the wall and will make learning about rights meaningful.

How could others apply this in practice? ​​Any Provider can benefit from making learning interactive and fun. It can open minds to other creative ways to educate and encourage understanding about rights.
