Art Lab Rx provides art therapy services to agencies that offer disability support programming. We partner with organizations that serve individuals with intellectual, developmental, cognitive, or physical disabilities and integrate art therapy as a clinical service within their existing programs.
Art Lab Rx does not operate disability support programs. All disability services, programming, and care coordination remain under the direction and oversight of the partner agency.
How Art Therapy Supports Disability Support Settings
Art therapy is a mental health service that uses creative processes within a therapeutic relationship. In disability support settings, art therapy can offer structured opportunities for emotional expression, coping, and communication that do not rely solely on verbal language.
When delivered through partner agencies, art therapy may support participants by:
All services are adapted to the context of the agency and the needs of the individuals they serve.
Who These Services Are For
Art therapy services may be provided through partner agencies serving:
- Teens ages 13+ with developmental, cognitive, or physical disabilities
- Adults with intellectual or physical disabilities participating in agency-based programs
- Individuals receiving services through day programs, group homes, or community agencies
- Families and caregivers participating when coordinated by the agency
Eligibility, participation, and supervision are determined by the partner organization, not Art Lab Rx.
How Services Are Provided

Sessions are facilitated by licensed art therapists and adapted as needed, which may include modified materials, alternative processes, or flexible participation options.
Service Locations
On-Site at Partner Organizations
