The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of group art therapy program on the reduction of negative self-expression in the intellectually disabled staying in a welfare facility. The objects of the study were 5 intellectually disabled females aged 30 or older staying in a welfare facility. A total og 15 sessions of group art therapy program were carried out for these females and negative self-expression target behaviors were selected as the study tool used to verify the effect of the program based on 20 questions that measure content-based, paralinguistic and non-verbal self-expression, which are the sub-categories for the self-assertiveness scale of Rakos & Schroeder. Based on the study method, the occurrence frequency of negative self-expression behavior, which is a dependent variable was observed and measured using the frequency recording method and the effect was verified by applying an inter-object multiple baseline design. As a result of the study, the average frequencies of the negative self-expression target behaviors of 5 persons were confirmed to have reduced to 9.32 at the baseline stage, to 4.93 at the initial stage, to 2.50 at the middle stage, and to 1.28 at the final stage when compared to those of the baseline section. This means that the group art therapy, which utilized diverse art media had a positive effect on the reduction of negative self-expression target behaviors of the intellectually disabled participating in the program.
