Formerly known as The Art Cart
Since 2014 we have researched to understand what works and what does not work when it comes to using art and movement to improve symptoms! Early 2021, we recently rebranded to Creative Neurology as this new name better fits our mission and two signature programs that ignite the brain to think creatively to improve symptoms!
