Occupational and art therapy play a pivotal role in the comprehensive rehabilitation of children with neurological impairments. This study examines the effects of a complex rehabilitation program on children aged 5 to 7 years with cerebral injuries, focusing on improving motor coordination, self-sufficiency, and engagement in daily activities. The program incorporates art and game therapy to enhance psycho-emotional and motor development, which are crucial for the children's recovery. Results indicate significant improvements in muscle tone, active movement, and participation in specialized classes. The study underscores the importance of individualized programs that engage parents and adapt to the evolving needs of each child, fostering skill mastery and autonomy. This approach not only supports physical rehabilitation but also promotes social integration and emotional well-being.
