The Art Without Boundaries Association
Our Mission We are a Professional Association with the mission to improve the quality of life for individuals with Autism, Alzheimer's disease and other related disorders of the brain by promoting MnemeTherapy® To accomplish that, we recruit, train and certify artists to become MnemeTherapists. Membership in AWBA is required to practice MnemeTherapy® |
What is MnemeTherapy®? MnemeTherapy® uses everyday pleasures such as singing, movement, painting and story telling in a unique combination to stimulate dramatic changes in the brain. Although our goal is to provide a rewarding experience, documented testimonies show significant improvement in some clients in verbal skills, mobility, combativeness, spatial acuity and understanding instructions. |

| Testimonials: "MnemeTherapy is one of the most astonishing and hopeful therapies I’ve seen! I am in awe of what our MnemeTherapist is able to accomplish during a 30 minute session." School Director, Texas "I can’t praise the Kasey Watson and Art Without Boundaries program enough. The result of the program for our residents has been amazing! We've enjoyed surprisingly beautiful art, residents that smiled and responded during the session, were more alert and tranquil after the session and seemed much more content with the remaining part of the hour and sometimes even the rest of the day after the session. I would highly recommend the program." Administrator/Founder, California "We strive everyday to bring new and innovative activities to our Residents.I have trouble finding the words to describe what the Art Without Boundaries™ program has brought to our facility. This program boosts cognition, self-worth and brings a sense of accomplishment to our Residents. They are getting a great moment in time, having fun (yet working hard) and succeeding in a finished product they can be proud of. Although there are so many things our Residents can no longer do, MnemeTherapy is something they CAN do and provides a sense of pride and self-esteem" -Activities Director "The self-esteem alone that his program brings is amazing! You can see the glow and smiles on the faces of the Residents as they hold up their finished product...they just beam." Admissions Coordinator "This is the best thing I do here. Well,this and goin' to church. I look forward to seeing you and seeing what we are going to do that day." - Resident (Age 95) "(My son) began working with Mary a year ago and he has made outstanding strides since that time. (He) has increased his vocabulary, attention, and focus. Before begining MnemeTherapy with Mary, (he) rarely spoke in sentences and did not have spontaneous speech. Anthony... now forms sentences on his own and has begun to have spontaneous speech w/out prompts!!! Mary and the MnemeTherapy program are AMAZING.
