Abstract

Visual Arts have been around for decades, however, recently the arts have been removed from many schools. Within my research I am looking at the way that art benefits students with disabilities through social skills, transitioning through life, and providing an outlet. I also want to look at which art materials are the best and most helpful for students with disabilities. With my research I plan on using a survey that will be handed out to the aides, Multiple Handicapped (MH) Unit teachers and the art teacher. This research will help provide a guide toward changes in students with disabilities from no art in 5th grade to art in 6th, 7th and 8th grade as well as tell me how art benefits students with disabilities. This research is important, bceause it is important to understand that art is beneficial in many ways especially in a time when the visual arts are being taken out of schools.

Students With Disabilities and the Benefits of Visual Arts

Visual Arts have been around for decades, however, recently the arts have been removed from many schools. Within my research I am looking at the way that art benefits students with disabilities through social skills, transitioning through life, and providing an outlet. I also want to look at which art materials are the best and most helpful for students with disabilities. With my research I plan on using a survey that will be handed out to the aides, Multiple Handicapped (MH) Unit teachers and the art teacher. This research will help provide a guide toward changes in students with disabilities from no art in 5th grade to art in 6th, 7th and 8th grade as well as tell me how art benefits students with disabilities. This research is important, bceause it is important to understand that art is beneficial in many ways especially in a time when the visual arts are being taken out of schools.
