Answer:
I cannot give you any articles, but I can give you 14 years of special education experience and a some names that helped me help all levels of the profoundly disabled to raise self esteem: Carl Rogers, Virgina Satir, Garry Landreth. All of these individuals advocated to begin with the story of the individual through empathetic listening. Landreth advocated that one way to promoted the story was through play therapy or art therapy. By the readings of these three people, I was able to bring many of my downs, autism, and academically challenged students confidence level to where they were able to take state mandated tests and obtain part time employment. 80% of the students raised their test scores by 20% or more 63% met state standards. All I did was follow the aforementioned theories in my classroom. I still follow their examples in my general ed art classes.
I hope this helps.
