Highlights from the 2022 list
Melinda Briton
Melinda Briton became an art therapist after noticing, as an educator for over a decade, a gross inability between students and teachers alike to identify and regulate emotions in the classroom. Having a deep passion for effective and equitable education, she wondered how she might fill the niche. Meli Swan Art Therapy was born. Meli believes that having a solid foundation in emotional processing is a key element in effective education for both neurotypical and neurodiverse people. She brings her expertise as a Teacher for the Supported, music teacher and drama teacher (k-10), and her personal experience with a Learning Difference to her roll as art therapist.
