Values of Artistic Activity in Social Development of Individuals with Johanson-Blizzard Syndrome
Ploch, Leszek
International Journal of Special Education, v34 n1 p271-281 2019
This paper aims at examining the relationship between the psychosocial conditions of artistic activity through dance and its effect on women with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome (JBS), concerning their mental and social health, their social and emotional development in the area of public health as well as the quality of their functioning in their communities. The dance therapy exercises were based on a choreographic system invented by the author as a profile of research into social and emotional development of women with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome. On the basis of participating observation, the author gathered and discussed the results of achievements of three women aged 20-25 participating in dance activities for five years. The findings proved that the level of the risk of delay in the process of social and emotional development in individuals with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome could considerably decrease in the area of public health, positively influencing the improvement of the quality of independent functioning of women in their communities. For five years the described women developed an improvement in the areas of interpersonal communication, relationships and their self-assessment. Also, respondents developed a more adult style in their preference of independent roles towards their parents and their partner in one case.
