The results show gradual and consistent improvement in most participants in both fine motor skills and psychological well-being. In conclusion, drawing activities are effective in stimulating the development of fine motor skills and enhancing the psychological well-being of children with special needs, and are recommended for regular implementation in non-formal inclusive education.
