Abstract

The study aims to show diverse ways of autism management in Ghana by exploring the potential benefits of using creative art forms as a therapeutic approach in special needs education with the help of assistive technology. Many individuals with autism face challenges in sensory processing. There is a growing need for effective intervention and support for people with autism in special education using creative art forms in Ghana. Creative arts such as painting, sculpture and poetry have shown promises in promoting communication, self-confidence, creativity, social interaction and emotional expression in people with autism. These art forms provide powerful tools for autistic people to interact with their friends and families around them in Ghana and the world with the help of assistive technology. The study explored the different approaches, methods and results of these interventions by using qualitative multiple case studies at Little Haven School and Evergreen Autistic Academy in Ghana. The study employed photographs, interviews and observations as research instruments. The results of this study contribute to the development of evidence-based practices which helps inform policy makers, educators, therapists and other stakeholders involved in autism support. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the well-being and quality of life of people with autism in Ghana and their families by promoting inclusive and accessible interventions that harness the power of creative art forms using assistive technology.

Abstract

The complicated nature of this various technique limits jewellers and metalsmiths in the kind of design and size of works that they normally produce, which is mainly jewellery and jewellery- scaled items. This is as a result of artisan’s inability to introducing modern production methods and design in their practice as well as lack of improving the aesthetic appeal of products by incorporating jewellery forming techniques in a metal sculpture mural. Various jewellery forming techniques were reviewed; further reviews were also conducted on landmarks in KNUST that can be incorporated in the metal sculpture mural to enhance their beauty. A qualitative research approach was employed making use of descriptive and studio-based research designs for the study. Observations were the tool used in gathering data. The results of this study indicate that by selecting the appropriate materials and workshop practices, it is possible to produce murals using the jewellery forming techniques irrespective of the design and size of the object. It is therefore recommended that jewellers, sculptors or metalsmiths in general are to establish and to combine other jewellery or metalsmithing techniques (such as granulation, welding, casting, electroforming, etc.) to produce artefacts other than jewellery-scale items.
