List any problems that you imagine will slow you down? How will you address these issues or problems? I think what might slow me down is the fact that there are so many people who are in need of Art Therapy. Art Therapy proves to be useful to autistic children, to people will physical handicaps and metal hearth disorders. There are so many different types of people who are in need of this type of therapy and I think that I have to really minimise my choices. I think I should forget about the mental illnesses because there are so many of them and my essay could go on forever.
