“Art for Special Needs: A Learning Disabled Child in a Special Art Program

Abstract

This case study describes the experiences of Peter, a learning disabled child, in a special art program. The objectives of the program were threefold: 1) to improve the body image concept of children with learning disabilities, through art activities which focused on the human figure; 2) to learn more about the learning disabled child's behaviors and skills in an art classroom; 3) to determine what kind of special teaching strategies are necessary for teaching art to this population of learners. Although Peter's response to and progress in the program was erratic at the beginning, his later accomplishments demonstrated that behavioral adjustments and improvement of his body image concept had occurred through his experiences in the art program.
