Research demonstrates that "not only are the arts
fun, but they keep kids in school, develop self
esteem, and remove boundaries." |
| |
|
The
arts offer visually impaired learners, and other
learning disabled students, a hands-on lesson in
numerous concepts that are otherwise difficult to
convey to them.
ART
does TEACH.
It
teaches through: Touch, Expression, Access,
Challenge, Healing, Enriching, and Stimulation. This
workshop provides not only motivation but also
practical instructions for successful art projects
that have been tested with visually impaired
students. |

A
WORKSHOP FOR: |
 Teachers
with Inclusive Classrooms |
|
Child
Care Providers |
|
All
Teachers of Students with Special Needs |
|
Students
and adults who are blind or have low vision. |
| |
|
Art
can provide more than fun for the special needs
student. It can be an enriching learning experience.
Concepts that are difficult to teach come much more
easily with hands-on art projects. |
| |
The
activities included have actually been tested with
blind and visually impaired youngsters. The material
presented is being compiled into a handbook to be
published for Teachers of the Visually Impaired. It
is a three hour, hands-on workshop, but can be
adapted for other formats.
|
"My mission
is to advocate and strive for art to be
encouraged and used as a teaching tool with
students who are blind,
visually impaired or have other disabilities." |
