Art therapy

as a non-verbal intervention method

demonstrates unique value in the rehabilitation education of children with autism. From the perspective of aesthetic education

this study systematically explores the theoretical foundations

model design

implementation strategies

assessment dimensions

and practical pathways of art therapy in interventions for children with autism. The research finds that art therapy can effectively leverage the visual advantages and perceptual characteristics of autistic children. Through multimodal artistic activities such as painting

music

and drama

it promotes the coordinated development of their emotional expression

social communication

and aesthetic experience. Combining structure with free expression

and implementing collaborative efforts between families and institutions

are key to enhancing intervention outcomes. This study provides a systematic framework and practical recommendations for art therapy practices for children with autism.
