This article aims to present a model of psycho-educational intervention which helps adolescents with physical, motor deficiencies (PMD) 1 to integrate more effectively into the school and social group. It also analyses the results of a psychological experiment realized with adolescents with PMD, using role playing method, body techniques and cathartic methods (drawing) aiming for optimization, personal development and improvement of resilience and rehabilitation of these teens. The research approach is integrated in the general trend of positive psychology, which focuses on cultivating individual skills and inclinations. It is also proposed a new method of working with teenagers with PMD: the intervention through art in school, which has proved to be beneficial in overcoming states of stress, nervousness or frustration. The experimental analysis is connected with a comprehensive project on teenagers with PMD, conducted by the Rusu, M. in previous years 2 .
