    During this years TABstock, we were blessed to have Kathy Douglas in attendance. I grabbed the opportunity to record, in her words, the genesis of TAB. It is a wonderful story told by one of the founders of TAB: Kathy Douglas.

    The Healing Power of Art

    In this episode, Clyde and Clark talk about the healing power of art. Why do kids seek out the art room when they are anxious? Why do certain behaviors disappear when children have the opportunity to work with their minds and their hands?

Looking forward to more

I’ve listened to the first two episodes and I’m so happy to have found this through TAB Facebook group. I have jumped into TAB after learning about it this summer. I look forward to continuing to learn more as I continue to listen!

TAB talk that feeds my art teacher soul

I am so grateful I found this podcast. Clark and Clyde discuss teaching TAB ways that are so incredibly helpful to teachers. They have years of experience to draw from and quote research from not only education but also related fields to support thier points of view.
