Abstract Art therapy has the unique potential to serve the mental health needs of the Deaf community. Art therapy practitioners and educators from the dominant (hearing) culture can become allies by de-centering verbal and audiological communication. The unique visual storytelling practice within Deaf culture makes art therapy a fitting modality for serving this minority group.
