Abstract

The study was conducted between March and July in 2005. The subjects were 10 children, 5 males and 5 females, with Cerebral Palsy. The Art Therapeutic Educations were given 40 minutes each time 2 times per week 16 weeks, and adaptive behavior activities have been check before and after the each treatment. The program is consist of accessible themes so that they can improve their adaptive behavior. The obtained data were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test using SSPS PC+ 12.0. Firstly, the effective training program for adaptive behavior can be developed using the Art Therapeutic Education for the children with Cerebral Palsy. post-experimental adaptive behavior scores were higher compared to pre-experimental scores with statistical significance. Furthermore, sub-areas emotional behavior, visual-perception behavior, gross motor function, fine motor function, motor planning was significantly increased after the completion of exercising programs, however, the improvements in score compared to other sub-areas tactual-perception behavior, auditory-perception behavior, vestibular sense, oral-respiration function, adaptive response were not statistically significant.Secondly, Adaptive Behavior was significantly increased after the completion of the exercising programs by GMFCS Level. Furthermore, sub-areas emotional behavior in GMFCS Level Ⅲ was significantly increased after the completion of exercising programs, however, the improvements in score compared to other groups were not statistically significant.Lastly, Adaptive Behavior was improvements after the completion of the exercising programs by sessional plans.
