The Use of the Creative Therapies with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Preface

The Use of the Creative Therapies with Autism Spectrum Disorders  is a comprehensive work that examines the use of art, play, music, dance/movement, and drama with respect to treatment issues relating these developmental disorders. The author’s primary purpose is to examine treatment approaches which cover the broad spectrum of the creative art therapies. The collection of chapters are written by renowned, well-credentialed, and professional creative art therapists in the areas of art, play, music, dance/movement, and drama. In addition, some of the chapters are complimented with photographs of client art work, diagrams, and tables. The reader is provided with a snapshot of how these various creative art therapies are used to treat children and adults diagnosed with disorders such as Autism or Aspergers. This informative book will be of special interest to educators, students, therapists as well as people working with families and children touched by this diagnosis.
