COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — When the words won't come, therapist Tara Alexander has an idea for her patients.
How about drawing? she might ask. Or painting? Or clay sculpting? The possibilities are endless from the cupboard in her Colorado Springs office, filled with markers, colored pencils, brushes, yarn, tinsel, pipe cleaners, bits of wood and textile, beads, confetti, googly eyes, jingle bells and on and on.
"Let's create something," Alexander might say.
