The visual arts hold special importance in the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through participation in the visual arts, individuals with disabilities can1 use their talents and abilities to explore and express themselves and to connect and share. The visual arts provideopportunity for creative self-expression of one’s internal state, which must be expressed for well-being and growth. For people with disabilities, the production of something tangible and uniquely one’s own can increase self-efficacy and self-determination. Art production can facilitate choice-making, self-expression, and when created in an inclusive setting, can foster community involvement and social skills. Compared to their peers without disabilities, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have not experienced the same access to the visual arts. Prior to 1970, the few programs that existed typically involved therapeutic services or activities in a sheltered workshop, such as “arts and crafts” as activities in adult day programs. However, more recently people with disabilities are participating in the visual arts for social and vocational purposes. Further, many artists with disabilities currently have work displayed in stages Historically, art programming for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities has been used for a leisure-time activity. Such programming occurs in conjunction with community-based agencies, as part of their adult services. For some artists with disabilities, a career in the visual arts is an opportunity for meaningful employment. Art Therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem, self-awareness, and achieve insight. Arts education is the instruction and programming in art disciplines. In early research, scholars in arts education demonstrated that children with disabilities have creative potential. However, students with disabilities are less likely to participate in art class or community art programs than their peers without disabilities. Art has indirect impact in Mental and Physical development. Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary health therapy. This is anapplication of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet, hands, or ears.In art, this is happening without our knowledge. In dance and Yoga exercise, using Mudras to depict objects and languagetoo contributes towards reflexology. Reflexeslogists believe that these reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems, and that pressing them has a beneficial effect on the person's health. In Conclusion, I would like to mention that CAMR was successful in conducting performing arts for the past 10 years at large compromising 350 ID persons from 25 institutions, brining smiles on faces of ID persons’ and their parent’s and show casing their abilities and dignity to a larger population in Sri Lanka.
