Abstract
Neurodiverse individuals are often faced with a public school system that was not created for them to succeed. This paper focuses on the effects that art integrated therapies can and have had on supporting neurodiverse individuals in developing their social and emotional skills. It will address the different mediums, methods, and environments that can affect how art therapy is received by the client. It will discuss the background of these categories and explain the key terminology used in this research. I will analyze several academic sources that have real life experience applying art therapy to support diverse individuals and reflect on their effectiveness and experience. Finally, I will share a connection to how this research is prevalent to school counselors and teachers working within the public school system. I will offer several accessible resources that can be used as an introductory art therapy application.
