Art-Centered Education and Therapy for Children With

Art-Centered Education and Therapy for Children With Disabilities

This book has been written to help both the regular education, and art and special education teachers, both pre- and in-service, better understand some of the issues and realities of providing education and remediation to children with disabilities. The book is also offered as a model of a concept that has governed the author's personal and professional career of over thirty years - the concept that we must live, learn and develop through art - that art belongs at the core of the public school curriculum. Additionally, the author emphasizes that art offers one of the most powerful ways to grow and develop socially, physically and emotionally as well as academically. The power to heal, motivate, teach, and empower needs to be realized and utilized. It is hoped that this book demonstrates art power and inspires many art therapists and teachers to try an art-centered approach.
