A Unique Intersection: Art and Special Education
Aisha Deemas moderating panel discussion at March Meeting 2016: Education, Engagement, and Participation.
Description
This panel explores the rich and underexplored possibilities of working at the intersection of art education and special education. On both practical and conceptual levels, how does art education for special needs students differ, and in this context, what are specific challenges faced in the UAE? How can art institutions and schools work together to respond to those needs? How can art and its institutions enable those with special needs to further develop their community and forge new paths both personally and professionally?
