i AM A GRADUATE STUDENT IN ART THERAPY AT ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY. I HAVE CO-FACILITATED GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SPINA BIFIDA AND OTHER COGNITIVE LEVEL DISORDERS.
ONE ACTIVTY THAT I FOUND BENEFICIAL WAS SIMBOLIC BODY TRACING EXERCISES. I PROVIDE A TRACING OF A BODY ON A PIECE OF WHITE (11X14) DRAWING PAPER. WE ASKED THE GROUP MEMBERS TO FILL IN THE IMAGES ACCORDING TO FEELINGS OF SENSATIONS THAT THEY EXPERIENCE WITHIN THEIR BODIES. WE HAD REALLY GOOD RESULTS.
THE OTHER ACTITIVY THAT WORKS WELL IS WORKING WITH CLAY. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SEEM TO RESPONSE REALLY WELL TO THE MOVEMENT OF CLAY.
I HOPE THAT THESE SUGGESTIONS HELP.
