Speech Therapy Communication Sciences and Disorders Art Therapy Medical Art Therapy Complex Communication Needs Medical procedures can be traumatic for children, especially those with disabilities such a cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, or intellectual disability who have communication challenges prior to entering the hospital. Medical art therapy is a practice known to reduce anxiety and improve communication of symptoms; however, there is no research on the effect of art therapy on children with severe communication disorders. Seven interviews with medical art therapists working with hospitalized children with severe communication impairments were conducted, resulting in 1,018 individual thought units. Sampling from over 200 United States children’s hospitals and to create a foundation for future research, interviews were conducted remotely, transcribed, and coded for qualitative analysis. Themes include adaptations, interprofessional work, the role and effect of art, and the role of disability and hospitalization. Clinical implications and future research are discussed. 2021-05-18 English text Ohio University Honors Tutorial College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1618918702473323 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1618918702473323 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
