Art therapy is a valuable form of counselling for people with developmental disabilities. This concise guide explains how art therapy offers ways of coping with emotional difficulties and provides a powerful means of self-expression. Janice Carroll draws from her extensive experience with adults and children with developmental disabilities to show how art therapy techniques can be adapted for a wide range of client groups, including people with hearing and visual impairments, Down Syndrome and learning disorders. Practical guidance is offered on how to overcome physical difficulties in creating art due to motor impairments, and how to help individuals with cognitive or communicative impairments understand artwork and express their responses to it. New and practising art therapists will find this book to be an insightful introduction to how art therapy can benefit people with developmental disabilities.

Janice Carroll has worked with adults and children with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries for over ten years. She has her own art therapy practice in Vancouver, Canada and is Director of La Garderie, an out of school care program.
