Download or read book Reaching and Teaching Students with Special Needs Through Art written by Beverly Levett Gerber and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Reaching and Teaching Students with Special Needs Through Art is written for art educators, special educators, and those who value the arts for students with special needs. It builds on teachers’ positive responses to the first edition, and now combines over 700 years of the educational experience of arts and special educators who share their art lessons, behavior management strategies, and classroom stories. The revised second edition provides updated chapters addressing students with emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and visual and hearing impairments. The newly revised second edition includes chapters on students with autism spectrum disorder, preschool students, and students experiencing trauma. All chapters have been updated to include current definitions and language, recommended teaching strategies, art lesson adaptations, behavior management strategies, and references to related chapters. Follow-up activities are provided for further insights into each group of students. A new summary chapter connects how the authors’ collaborations resulted in changes to two professional organizations. Since the first edition, many of the featured authors established the new Division of Visual and Performing Arts Education (DARTS) at the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and earlier, formed a new National Art Education Association (NAEA) Interest group—Special Needs in Art Education (SNAE), now Arts in Special Education (ASE). This edition is ideal for preservice arts methods courses and education courses on accessibility and inclusion at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It continues to offer current yet proven best practices for reaching and teaching this ever-important population of students through the arts.

Download or read book Visual Arts Education for Students with Significant Disabilities written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation proposes to understand how the goals and theories of special education, art education, and the learning sciences intersect in a visual arts class for students with significant disabilities. Art teachers often have caseloads of hundreds of students, including many with special needs, yet arts-based resources for teaching students with severe disabilities are very limited in both number and depth (Loesl, 2012). There is extensive research in the visual arts, the learning sciences, and special education, yet very little of that research examines how these areas intersect, support or contradict each other. For students with disabilities, art-making experiences may be as beneficial if not more so than for their peers (Loesl, 2012), hence the need for studies such as this. This study examines learning both in and through the arts, considering what learning objectives are most relevant and valuable for these students, and how the necessary modifications and accommodations are made to maximize meaningful learning. The art-making processes of 34 students at a specialized school for students with significant disabilities were observed and documented, and data was collected and analyzed in an effort to answer the following three research questions: What do students learn in this self-contained specialized art class? What does student learning in this setting suggest about the balance between predictable structure and open-ended opportunities for creativity development? What attributes of classroom context foster or inhibit learning in this setting? Data collection also included parent questionnaires, staff questionnaires, and teacher journaling and memos. Themes explored include physical and intellectual access to arts programming, instructional and contextual classroom strategies, and relational, behavioral, and communicational programming considerations. Choice making is explained as an essential step in the development of creativity and self-determination. A lens of distributed cognition was used to understand learning supported by assistive technologies, structured routines, support staff, and communication supports. While this study closely examines visual arts learning in this unique setting, I hope this research will provide insight into how to better provide arts access and opportunity for students with significant disabilities, enhancing learning, sensory exploration, creativity development, personal expression, and of quality of life.

Download or read book Arts Integration and Special Education written by Alida Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arts Integration and Special Education contributes to research, policy, and practice by providing a theory of action for studying how linguistic, cognitive, and affective student engagement relates to arts integrated learning contexts and how these dimensions of engagement influence content area and literacy learning. Arts Integration and Special Education connects the interdisciplinary framework in human development and linguistics, special education, and urban education with primary action research by special educators trained in arts integration, working in an inclusive urban charter school with middle school age students. Upper elementary to middle-grade level student learning is relatively understudied and this work contributes across fields of special education and urban education, as well as arts education. Moreover, the classrooms in which the action research occurs are comprised of students with a diverse range of abilities and needs. The book’s interdisciplinary model, which draws on developmental and educational psychology, special education, and speech/language pathology research and practice, is the first to posit explanations for how and why AI contexts facilitate learning in students with language and sensory processing disorders, and those at-risk for school failure due to low socioeconomic status conditions.

Download or read book Examining the Shared Perceptions Surrounding the Most Important Elements to Include in the Design of a Classroom based Therapeutic Visual Arts Program Serving Students with Autism written by Laurie Hoppock and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual art is an enriching part of educational curriculum and an individual's development (Malley & Silverstein, 2014), but public school curriculum is increasingly focusing on standardization, core subject curriculum, testing, and accountability measures leaving creative fields behind as merely an additive part of education or a resource (Hourigan, 2014). Arts education within a system focusing on these areas creates a one-size-fits-all curriculum (Wexler, 2014) for students rather than accounting for individual student learning needs. A differentiated system is needed to respond to varying learning styles and stages of development. With the rising number of students being diagnosed with autism (Zablotsky, Black, Maenner, Schieve, & Blumberg, 2015), this shift becomes especially important for a growing population of students who exhibit a wide array of academic, social, emotional, and behavioral learning needs. The integration of therapeutic visual arts into an education curriculum can account for these elements of a student's developmental and learning needs as well as the need for self and expressive exploration (Albert, 2010; Anderson, 1992; Bush, 1997; Henley, 2001). This dissertation outlines a Q Methodological study that examined perceptions from professionals in the fields of art therapy, art education, and special education around what programmatic features should be included in a classroom-based therapeutic visual art designed for school-aged students with autism. These perceptions were collected through a Q sort of 42 item Q set. The results of the Q sort were analyzed and interpreted. From the patterns and themes that emerged from this interpretation, I developed program recommendations and implications surrounding classroom-based therapeutic visual arts programs designed for students with autism in a large public school district in the southeastern United States.
