Art Therapy
Art therapy is a unique approach in working with individuals with intellectual disability. This type of therapy helps those involved to express feelings and thoughts, enhance self-esteem and self-awareness, promote well-being, increase communication skills, and increase coping skills, just to name a few.
The biggest advantage is that art can express things that are not expressible verbally, that’s a huge advantage for people who don’t have the language to talk about what’s inside of them.
