Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

One of the major differences between Creative Arts Therapy and other forms of communication is that most other forms of communication require the use of words or language as a means of communication.

There may be times when it is difficult to express or identify underlying feelings and as in the case of a child or adult with intellectual disabilities, they may lack the ability to communicate how they feel with words.

That’s where art therapy can help to:

Improve physical and fine motor skills

Reduces physical, emotional, and spiritual pain

Relieves stress

Reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety

Increases cognitive skills and provides intellectual stimulation

Encourages socialization and communication

Improves memory

Promotes self-expression and self-awareness

The program is offered by West Liberty University.
