Abstract

Abstract

The current study aims to develop a special program for both instructors and educators to train children with autism via art while also promoting their positive behaviors and social requirements. To achieve these goals, an experimental study was carried out at the Centre of Community Services for Autism, drawing on previous research in the field of art therapy. The study concentrated on the usage of images and their visual composition from the linguistic, cognitive, emotional, motor, and social perspectives. The study's findings demonstrated that the image, its simulation, and its practical application all play important roles in promoting specific developmental features of children with autism.
