Art Therapy with Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder

There is a distinct lack of art therapy literature on working with adults with autism spectrum disorders, and this book combats this dearth by looking at the theory and practice of working with this client group. With clinical case examples throughout, it provides ideas for practice and interventions for use in institutional and community settings. There is a useful focus on directives to help with specific concerns, for example college and job readiness, social skills, and adapting to independent living.

The book also includes information on ASD itself and gives advice on developmental and neurological considerations to take into account when working with this client group.
