Art-Based Intervention in Determining the Quality of Life of Children with Autism and Their Parents in the Context of Educational Services in Kenya

Abstract

This article's major goal is to describe art-based interventions in the context of educational services in order to improve the Quality of Life (QoL) of children with autism (CWA) and their parents. A complete electronic database search was conducted for the article, which focuses on art-based intervention and the Quality of Life (QoL) of children with autism (CWA) and their parents. The systematic literature review of studies was be based on a) studies that incorporate various art-based interventions used to teach CWA. b) research that looks at the impact of an art-based intervention on CWAs' quality of life. Five papers were assessed because they met the requirements. According to the systematic literature review's findings, several art-based interventions were utilized to teach CWA. Art-based therapies are the best predictor of developmental domains like sensory integration and executive functioning, which are important for CWA and their parents' QoL. Systematic literature review research in Kenya revealed that very little is known regarding art-based intervention and quality of life. According to the article, a wider focus on a comprehensive review of CWA QoL in Africa would be beneficial.
