Art, music and drama therapists and an integrative child psychotherapist work
with pupils for whom this is thought likely to be beneficial, helping them to
develop a sense of identity, self esteem and creativity.
These therapeutic provisions can offer the children a different way of relating
beyond the confines and pressures of the class group and the learning
situation, by using the creative arts. Play is also very important in the Arts
Therapies.
The children are encouraged by therapy to interact and communicate with other
people, and it helps them focus on the emotional aspect of their difficulties
using a psycho-therapeutic approach.
Children can be offered individual sessions or small group settings and the work
can be short or long term, ranging from a term to a number of years, depending
on the child’s needs.
