Rawley Silver
Rawley Silver is an American art therapist, artist, author, and educator. She has worked with different populations with her strong belief in using art as a form of language.〔Silver, R. (2001).

==Life and Work==
Silver graduated from Cornell University in 1939 with a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Studio Art. She then went on to study at the School of Social Work at Smith College from 1940 to 1941. Silver went on to work as a medical social worker and volunteered to work in a school that had no art teacher. In 1962, she attended the Teachers College of Columbia University, where she received her Doctorate of Education and Masters’ of Arts degree in Fine Arts and Fine Arts Education in 1966.
During this time, Silver began working with individuals with disabilities, especially children with auditory disorders. Silver discovered at this time that communication is a problem not only for those persons who have language disorders, but also for those who work with them.〔Silver, R. (1978). Developing cognitive and creative skills through art. Baltimore: University Park Press.〕 Due to this barrier, she began utilizing stimulating drawings in her work with patients. In her book, ''Art as Language'', Silver stated one could use drawings to bypass language problems and assess cognitive skills. She went on to conduct research projects on this subject, supported by the U.S. Office of Education and the National Institute of Education, among others.
