지체부자유 아동의 심리적 재활을 위한 미술치료

Adaptive art therapy for children with physical disabilities

미술을 비롯한 예술에 대한 요구는 모든 아동에게 자연스러운 것이며, 장애아동의 경우도 마찬가지이다. 장애아동의 경우도 그들의 독특한 요구에 따라 자유로이 활용될 수 있는 미술 환경이 조성되어야 한다. 장애를 지닌 아동은 안전한 환경에서 미술매체를 다루는 경험을 통해 긍정적인 심리적 변화가 촉진될 수 있다.따라서 본 연구에서는 지체부자유 아동의 심리적 특성을 살피고, 장애아동에 대한 미술치료의 의의를 살핀 후, 지체부자유 아동을 위한 미술치료에 대해 살피고자하였다. 특히 지체부자유 아동의 적응을 도울 수 있는 미술매체와 도구, 환경, 도구사용 계열, 컴퓨터 사용 등과 이를 통한 유용한 기법의 활용을 중심으로 연구하였다.
