Art Education and Art Therapy Strategies for Autism Spectrum Disorder Students

By describing ASD in the context of challenges and strengths that accompany the disorder, I discuss techniques that accentuate the strengths of each individual in art classrooms. I synthesize the expertise of the art teacher and art therapist, emphasizing best practices in developing art lessons based on integrating the strengths of each student, regardless of special needs. Strategies that maximize engagement in the art classroom can be augmented from the repertoire of art therapy and broaden the palette of an art educator.
