A Case Study on the Use of Picture Books in Group Play Therapy for Improving Sociality in Children with Borderline Intelligence

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of a Group Play Therapy Program utilizing Picture Books on the sociality of children with Borderline Intelligence. The study included 3 children identified as having Borderline Intelligence based on K-WISC-Ⅳ test results, and they participated in the program consisting of 12 sessions, each lasting 50 minutes, conducted twice a week. To assess changes in sociality, the average scores on a social development scale were compared as pre- and post-scores, and qualitative analysis was conducted to examine social behavioral changes. The results reported a significant overall improvement in sociality after the program. Additionally, qualitative observations highlighted observable changes in the sociality of participating children. These research findings emphasize the effectiveness of the Group Play Therapy Program utilizing Picture Books as an impactful approach to enhancing the sociality of children with Borderline Intelligence.
