Abstract

We present here the results of an Art Therapy program carried out with Primary School children suffering from Attention difficulties, with or without hyperactivity. In this study 52 pupils from two different schools in Granada (Spain) took part. 32 out of them formed the experimental group and attended 10 Art Therapy sessions. The other 20 children formed the control group. Results have shown significant differences on children taking part in the Art Therapy program, and mainly in the areas of hyperactivity, behavior disorder, as well as in attention and hyperactivity disorder and perception of differences.
