the arts in special education

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Does anyone know of some helpful websites to research how the arts are useful in special education? How can I use the arts as a universal means of communication in my inclusive classroom?

My advice to you is learn and teach some simple models of paper-folding
(origami). You can start by getting simple origami books or finding models’s instructions at www.oriland.com. You students will be fascinated
just by the fact that you can turn a simple flat paper into a 3-D model
that can be a toy, an animal or anything else. Not only that, but it can
make them feel special in a positive way by showing off to their peers
at school

Thank you so much for your suggestion! I think oragami is a very fun activity and you’re right, anyone would feel proud of their work.
