What is a great art therapy activity to do with individuals with mental & phys. disabilities/ 1 time, 30 min.?
Please respond via e mail to me by 3/6/06.
I know it is a little late but some great art therapy directives could be a stimulus drawing (draw a story by Rawley silver) or a collage is always good and can be from pre-cut magazine pictures as well as fabric if the person has difficulty with sight. Doing a collage with different surface textures can highlight sensory stimulation Also doing a guided visualization and them having them draw it. This task offers familiarity with an object and can increase the memory recall but also the sensory experience. Good luck.
