The purpose of this qualitative case study is to examine the experience of child and mother and the meaning of such experience in the mother-child art therapy for the interaction with a child diagnosed of autism spectrum disorder. For the research, this study examined a 47-month-old boy diagnosed with autism spectrum at the age of 36 months and a 41-year-old mother who is a primary caregiver. The research session included a total of 18 sessions composed of a mother-child program for emotional stability and positive interaction for a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder based on Proulx’s art therapy program for parent-child relationship. For the collected data, this study explored the experience and meaning of mother-child art therapy by applying the repeated comparative analysis method. After the research on the experience of the mother and the child, 3 upper categories including ‘Interaction response of a child towards the mother’, ‘Self-expression and pathological behavior by the child’, and ‘Change in attitude and perception of the mother toward the child’ and 13 subcategories were derived. This study holds significance in providing a basic environment that forms a sense of emotional bond and stability between mother and child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Furthermore, this study clarified the significance of art therapy as an early intervention for enhancing the child’s life adaptation.
