“…The study's second notion was that digital storytelling, besides being a good method for documenting personal experiences, can also be a form of a narrative therapy by helping students to discover parts of their personality (Sawyer & Willis, 2011).

Immigrant students face a multitude of problems, among which are poor social adaptation and school integration. On the other hand, although digital narrations are widely used in education, they are rarely used for aiding students or for the resolution of complex problems. This study exploits the potential of digital narrations towards this end, by examining how the development and presentation of an autobiographical digital narration can assist immigrant students in overcoming their adaptation difficulties. For that matter, a female student presenting substantial problems was selected as the study's subject. Data was collected from all the participating parties (subject, teacher, classmates) using a variety of tools, before, during, and after the intervention. It was found that through the digital narration she was able to externalize her thoughts and feelings and this, in turn, helped her in achieving a smoother integration in the school environment. In addition, the attitudes and perceptions of the other students for their foreign classmate were positively influenced. The intervention was short in duration and it did not require special settings. Hence, it can be easily applied and educators can consider using similar interventions. On the other hand, further research is recommended to establish the generalizability of the study's findings.

“…The notion that counseling therapies may include the use of art, music, written expression, and movement certainly is not new, yet it has received recent attention in the literature (e.g., Bradley, Whiting, Hendricks, Parr, & Jones, 2008;Pillay, 2009;Robbins & Pehrsson, 2009;Sawyer & Willis, 2011;Veach & Gladding, 2007). Such creative activities not only offer youth the opportunity to gain insight about their own thoughts and behaviors, but they also provide an opportunity to learn alternative (and healthy) ways to express their emotions (Veach & Gladding, 2007).…”

This pilot study evaluated whether a creative arts therapy program delivered through a 2-week summer day camp benefited children's support networks and improved their general wellness. Camp staff completed ratings on the behavior of 11 children. Eleven parents (10 mothers) completed ratings on their children's behavior. Surveys were utilized; data were analyzed using Wilcoxon t tests. Results demonstrated that camp staff observed the most significant improvements in children's behaviors and relationships. Results of this study indicate that a social skills therapy program delivered through a creative arts summer camp can be beneficial to young children. Furthermore, these results were found during an intense, yet brief, period of time.
