A Case for Art Therapy as a Treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Durrani, Huma
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v36 n2 p103-106 2019
Art therapy has the potential to address some of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by promoting sensory regulation, supporting psychomotor development, and facilitating communication. The multisensory nature of art materials and the relational aspect of art making lends itself to the treatment of the challenges inherent in ASD while enhancing psycho-emotional well-being. These areas offer promising pathways for research.
