At Incompass Human Services, creativity is more than just an artistic outlet—it’s a way to engage, learn, and connect. Recently, individuals in Day Hab Room 2 embraced this philosophy with a vibrant tie-dye project that turned into a multi-sensory and communication-building experience.
The activity began with a hands-on exploration, as staff member Betsy encouraged participants to engage their senses before revealing their colorful banner. They felt the damp fabric, noticing its texture and temperature, and shared their thoughts on how it felt. This simple yet impactful moment sparked conversation and encouraged self-expression in a way that went beyond words.
As the tie-dye masterpiece unfolded, the group took time to appreciate the colors, each selecting a shade that caught their eye. But this wasn’t just about picking favorites—everyone had the chance to name their chosen color, a fun and meaningful exercise in creativity and communication. The colors reflected not only their observations but also their personalities and perspectives.
More than just an art project, this activity reinforced key skills such as sensory awareness, verbal expression, and social engagement. It also provided an opportunity for individuals to celebrate their creativity in a supportive and interactive environment.
At Incompass, we believe that learning and personal growth happen in many ways—and sometimes, the most impactful lessons come in the form of a hands-on, colorful experience. The tie-dye project in Day Hab Room 2 is just one example of how we empower individuals to build confidence, express themselves, and connect with others—one vibrant creation at a time.
