Application of art therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder
Primena art terapije kod dece sa poremećajem autističkog spektra
Abstract
With the aim of strengthening and maintaining functional, psychological and emotional aspects of an individual, therapeutic interventions that rely on the use of sound media and music, movement and dance, drama, literary template and similar are often employed. In the past decades, therapeutic use of art media, creative processes and products of art activities, among others, has been encouraged. The goal of this study is to systemize knowledge on applications and effects of art therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder through literature survey and critical analysis of results in selected works. Searching the electronic data base of the Serbian Library Consortium for Coordinated Acquisition - KoBSON, we collected and analyzed studies that deal with the topic of art therapy. Literature findings mainly show a positive effect of art therapy programs on verbal and social abilities in children with autism. However, the results of the conducted studies indicate that the authors of m...any papers have an uncritical manner of reporting results of therapy with this complementary method for children with autism. The fact that a significant number of research papers host serious methodological limitations brings into question the generalization of the obtained data. For this reason, we emphasize the necessity of further research in this area, in order to create a more comprehensive view on the basis of new information, which would make art therapy a more widely represented method in treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder.
U cilju podsticanja i održavanja funkcionalnih, psiholoških i emocionalnih aspekata pojedinca često se koriste terapijske intervencije koje se temelje na upotrebi medija zvuka i muzike, pokreta i plesa, drame, literarnog predloška i slično. Poslednjih decenija se, između ostalih, zagovara i terapeutsko korišćenje likovnih medija, kreativnog proseca i produkta likovnih aktivnosti. Cilj rada je da se pregledom literature i kritičkom analizom rezultata u izdvojenim studijama sistematizuju saznanja o primeni i efektima art terapije kod dece sa poremećajem autističkog spektra. Pretragom elektronske baze podataka Konzorcijuma biblioteke Srbije za objedinjenu nabavku - KoBSON, prikupljeni su i analizirani radovi u kojima je obrađivana tema art terapije. Podaci iz literature uglavnom ukazuju na pozitivan uticaj programa art terapije na verbalne i socijalne sposobnosti dece sa autizmom. Međutim, rezultati sprovedenih istraživanja su pokazali da autori mnogih studija nekritički navode izuzetne r...ezultate kod dece sa autizmom nakon primene ove komplementarne metode. Činjenica da mnoga istraživanja imaju ozbiljna metodološka ograničenja dovodi u pitanje generalizaciju dobijenih podataka. Iz tog razloga, ističe se neophodnost daljih istraživanja u ovoj oblasti kako bi se na temelju novih saznanja stvorila sveobuhvatnija slika koja bi art terapiju učinila zastupljenijom metodom u tretmanu dece sa poremećajem autističkog spektra.
