The aim of the research is to gain insight into whether the use of a puppet as a medium can influence some elements of self-image in students with different development of motor functioning (self-esteem, social relations, verbal and non-verbal expression). The participants in this research were students at the Center for Education ―Goljak‖ who are attending the Extended Professional Procedure (PSP) program. Participants' chronological age ranged from 10-14 years. In total, 10 children participated, 9 of them attending the 3rd and 4th grades of the regular program with content adjustment and individualized procedures and a special program with individualized procedures. Given the aim of the research, hypothesis and research questions, a qualitative approach is used and a focus group is used as the data collection technique. The research shows that in the created conditions for creative expression of children, it was possible to encourage spontaneous play and create a safe space for emotional expression and open communication of participants. After getting acquainted with the group and their specific needs and possibilities, it is determined that during the workshops for stimulating a positive self-image one can work in the field of emotional development, more specifically on recognizing concepts, naming and expressing emotions. The results of the research confirm the starting hypothesis that the use of a puppet as a medium will positively affect some elements of self-image in students with motor disorders (self-esteem, social relations, verbal and non-verbal expression...). Recommendations for further research of this type are to develop a detailed protocol for recording impressions and to introduce an additional observer at workshops to record the data. It is also suggested to lead a longitudinal type of the same study.
