One may feel likes Physiotherapy is not a must to autistic children.

For decades, creative art therapies have been used in psychotherapy to enhance the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of individuals across all age groups, particularly children. Through the art of creativity, therapists can help enhance a child’s imagination, improve skills, and develop their ability to communicate. This approach is particularly beneficial among children with autism. Art therapy can build a pathway for children with autism to express their feelings and impressions of the world. They use their creative side to decide the color choices, to use different materials into their own visual form.

Art is so beneficial in that it is highly subjective. It is important to remember that each child with autism is a unique individual, with unique abilities, strengths, and needs. Since the most effective interventions are those that are personalized to meet the individualized characteristics of each child, children with autism can thrive in a creative, non-restrictive environment — one that allows them to think in pictures in a free-flowing manner.

Although each child’s experience will differ, one of the most common goals associated with art therapy is to increase tolerance for unpleasant stimuli while aiming to channel self-stimulating behavior into creative play. Since art is enjoyable for children, creative projects encourage kids with autism to tolerate various stimuli that they would normally avoid (i.e. the texture of construction paper or the smell of paint).
