WSB-TV Features The Howard School’s Unique NeuroArts Sprint

Channel 2 Action News (WSB-TV) brought viewers inside The Howard School for a look at our groundbreaking Neuroarts Innovation Sprint. Nonprofit partners gathered for a collaborative day focused on improving educational outcomes for neurodivergent learners.

Reporter Lori Wilson captured the energy on campus as teams of scientists, artists, educators, and clinicians designed new arts-based pilot programs aimed at transforming the student experience. Together, interdisciplinary groups—supported by design consultants from KPMG —tackled one urgent question: How can the arts strengthen brain development, mental health, and outcomes for students, including neurodivergent learners?

Among the initiatives highlighted was a new partnership with the High Museum of Art, featuring a prototyped field trip experience tailored to the sensory and learning needs of students. As The Howard School looks toward the future, one program will be launched and studied on The Howard School’s campus over the coming year to serve as a national model for neurodiverse education.

"We face new problems, new challenges, new complexities, and it’s the people who see the world differently who are going to guide us through it," said Head of School Dr. Anna B. Moore during the interview.
