Art Therapy and ADHD

Art Therapy can give children with ADHD confidence and build their capacity to focus

“ Children with ADHD and learning differences often have intense emotions, poor social skills, and low self-esteem. Children naturally communicate through art and play, and art therapy gives them a useful, nonverbal approach to face these challenges“ 

In this article from BAAT’s website, you can read about how art therapy supported a young person with anxiety.

“ In ‘N’s video below, she talks about how anxiety made her ‘feel trapped in her own mind’ and that it made it difficult for her to ‘be open with other people’. By creating different artworks during art therapy, she was able to ‘express her complex feelings when words wouldn’t work.’ This led to N feeling more ‘in control’ of her emotions.”
