Music, drawing, painting, making tactile clay and cardboard sculptures – the accessibility of art helps children with disabilities in many ways. Art education helps children express themselves, develop social and communication skills, and build relationships with peers. It is often used in important clinical and therapeutic work too.
4 tips for making art and music more accessible
The reasons why art education is so important
Art is a means of self-expression, and this fact makes it extremely important in the education of children with disabilities. The process of creating also builds vital life skills like communication, socializing, and even physical mobility!
Overall, freeing up the ability to express themselves through the brushstroke, papier-mâché stroking, and plasticine roll, art education introduces children to endless creative techniques and many fascinating art forms.
Art education can give a strong sense of confidence and agency, and promote social interaction and communication.
