Art medicine is the creative and expressive application of arts as natural health therapies. This book reveals the importance of creative arts as a valuable tool in healing. It creates awareness of the usefulness of arts beyond aesthetics. The book also discusses the positive impact of partaking in the processes of arts and the health outcomes, especially on children with disabilities. To achieve this, the
author highlights how to determine the level of relationship between the concept of disability in children, creative arts programmes and interventions and the extent creative arts therapy can help children with disabilities to heal, adjust, adapt, and be integrated into the society. It explores the relationship between the teaching and learning of creative arts and its acceptance as an effective means of helping children with disabilities in Nigeria.

This book successfully demonstrated that indeed, artists are healers; therefore,

Art is Medicine
