Creative and art therapy is very effective in working with all age groups and people with developmental difficulties. Creative therapy is a somewhat broader term than art therapy, and in addition to the expressive media used by art therapy, it uses some additional methods. The main features of art therapy are the use of drawings for diagnostic and communication purposes. The advantage of working in art therapy is the possibility of non-verbal communication and thus the expression of feelings in a non-verbal way. Music affects a person's mood and feelings, which gives preference to music therapy. Through active and passive methods, music therapy works on the individual. In movement and dance therapy, movement and dance are used to encourage the emotional, cognitive, social, and physical integration of each individual. Movement symbolization is a concept in dance therapy in which movements are transmitted through aesthetic design and symbolic movements. Psychodrama is a method in which the protagonist expresses his feelings, conflicts and conflicts through acting. In psychodrama, communication is important, but in addition to verbal, non-verbal movements of the individual are also observed. Poetry and bibliotherapy use poetry and other literature, depending on the purpose for which it is used and at what stage of development the individual is, in order for the individual to release his feelings, educate himself about his difficulty and to help the individual in overcoming problems. Given the wide applicability of creative and art therapy, it is applicable to many difficulties, and this paper presents the results of successful application of art therapy in abused children, children with ADHD, intellectual disabilities, autism, visual and hearing impairment, hospitalized children and children with mental disorders. In this paper, the advantages of non-verbal communication, which is especially important for working with children with disabilities, are particularly emphasized.
