The American Parkinson Disease Association’s signature Connecting Through Art
program was developed to provide those impacted by PD the space and ability to
express feelings and emotions through a creative activity, while also connecting
with others who share some of the same challenges and concerns. While these
aspects have all been shown to enhance mood and quality of life, the creative
activity itself may also help to improve visual-cognitive skills, hand dexterity, and
general motor function.
