Kate’s Answer

I would suggest you to look into fields like:
- Occupational Therapy
- Art Therapy

I think these combine creativity, working with people, especially those with special needs, and constant learning.

Robert’s Answer

You and my daughter have a lot in common! She's exploring Art Therapy to help young people with challenges. Art is key, but it begins with a psychology degree (BS). After that, you dive deeper into Art and Therapy with advanced degrees. You can start your undergrad at one college and continue at another for higher degrees. Also, consider a double major in Art and Psychology—it could be a great path!

Hi Eden,

I was going to suggest art therapy too. That would require you to study art, art ed., and psychology.

It might be helpful to see if there are schools near you with STEAM curriculum; maybe there are some opportunities for exploring teaching integrated art/math classes. You might also see if there are any creative programs for special needs students where you might spend a day shadowing or have an informational interview.

With the technological advances over the past few decades, there are increasingly more ways to combine art and math. Check out "paper engineer" Matthew Schlian's beautiful geometric work in paper, for instance. And MIT has set up Fab Labs in several places, such as the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine, to investigate tools such as 3D printers and laser cutters for making art in all sorts of media. They offer summer courses and have scholarships; it's a wonderful experience and a great way to meet artists from all over the US.

Hope this gives you some ideas!

Faustas’s Answer

Your interests are a cool mix!
Here are some two ideas that i have that might spark something inside for you (:

1. Therapeutic Artmaking:
If you love seeing how creativity can heal, this could be perfect, there is a lot of material online that you can find and use to make some interesting things for different individuals that you might work with.
2. Teaching:
You can adapt math lessons for kids or adults with learning differences, such as turning algebra into tactile art projects.
If you’re patient and love moments when someone learns from you, small or big, this might be something.

The world needs more people like you, good luck Eden!
