Art Therapy for Children and Adults in the Context of Computer Use in Education and Neuropedagogy

Abstract

The authors of the article focus on an interdisciplinary analysis of the possibilities of combining art therapy practices and digital technologies within the neuropedagogical educational context. The aim of the study is to conceptually substantiate a new model of psychocorrectional work - "art polytherapy", which integrates sensory, cognitive, and affective components in a multimodal digital environment. The methodological basis of the study includes a theoretical-analytical review of the literature, synthesis of practical experience, and educational-prognostic modeling methods. The results of the discussions emphasize the significance of digital media as an active factor in therapeutic interaction - from sensory stimulation to emotional regulation.
The article highlights the specific features of using such forms of art therapy as drawing therapy, vocal therapy, improvised theater in VR format, as well as the use of AI algorithms and sensory mapping to individualize therapy. As a result, a step-by-step model of neuropedagogical art therapy was developed, taking into account the client's sensory profile, the selection of relevant media tools, and the monitoring of neuroresponse.
The practical value of the study lies in establishing the groundwork for future experimental testing of the effectiveness of digital art therapy in working with children with special educational needs and adults experiencing psycho-emotional exhaustion. Thus, the article forms an innovative educational and therapeutic discourse at the intersection of neuroscience, art, and digital technologies.
