Art therapy programs can help children with autism improve social skills and resolve problem behaviors.
School aged children with autism need social skills therapy to help them as they learn about friends and adjust to the school setting. This study looked at the whether or not art therapy and group therapy could be combined to help to teach social skills to children with autism. The therapists used art therapy to get insight into what the children were feeling. Art therapy is helpful because children with autism are often more visual than they are verbal. The children were enrolled in after-school therapy at the SuperKids program in Connecticut.
