This research seeks to answer the question: How can art therapists help people with differing abilities self-advocate within their communities-of-care? People with disabilities are often cast aside or ostracized by their communities because of their socially perceived deficits. There has been a strong social justice movement towards viewing disability as a diversity issue instead of a problem-oriented medical issue. A bibliographical qualitative research design was used to collect, analyze, and integrate critical disability theory and art therapy to answer the research question. This research provides a variety of suggestions, ethical concerns to consider, and recommendations for art therapists working with people with disabilities.
