Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of art therapy in enhancing self-protection skills and reproductive health awareness among children with intellectual disabilities at SLBN 02 Lombok Timur. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative assessments (pre-test and post-test) with qualitative observations and interviews. The findings indicate significant improvements in children's ability to recognize body parts, differentiate safe and unsafe touches, and express discomfort when faced with inappropriate situations. The integration of drawing, singing, and dancing facilitated higher engagement, knowledge retention, and self-expression. Statistical analysis revealed a notable increase in self-protection awareness and reproductive health knowledge. The study concludes that art therapy is an effective educational tool for children with intellectual disabilities and should be incorporated into special education curricula to ensure long-term benefits..
