"My son, Ivan Shieh, who is a 23-year-old with moderate autism.  He has been working with Kathryn since he was 14 years old.  Ivan is a visual learner and is artistic.  Working with Kathryn not only provides him with the opportunities to explore with a variety of art activities and materials, it also helps him stay focused and be more flexible and creative which is beneficial for his social and emotional development.   As a qualified art teacher, Kathryn has a strong artistic background and training.  But most importantly and impressively, she cares about Ivan as a unique individual with special needs not an autistic young adult with deficits."

Kathryn Forrest led my 3rd grade class in two art classes online a few months ago. She began with background on the artists and them incredibly easy step-by-step directions to create their own art. My students were highly engaged and extremely proud of their creations. I’d strongly recommend her to teach kids of any age online! ​
