Ten students that applied for the dance program were assigned the art-integrated movement program, whereas the other students were who did not participate in the dance class but participated in a school program (music, art, and physical education class) were assigned the control group. Each of the classes were consists of 40 minutes sessions per week (two times/week) for a period of 12 weeks. Data were compiled and analyzed by SPSS window program (Ver. 21.0). Additionally, regression analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of self-expression on self-efficacy. RESULTS Children with intellectual disabilities who participated in the art integration movement program had an impact on their confidence in contents self-expression (t=3.087. p<.01) and voice self-expression (t=2.766, p<.01). contents self-expression (t=3.940, p<.001) affected self-regulating efficacy. and contents self-expression (t=4.057, p<.001) had a positive effect on the preference to task CONCLUSIONS The movement program that applied art integrated education suggests that self-expression of children with intellectual disabilities is an effective education to increase self-efficacy.
