Find It Fund It Florida - Hillsborough Education Foundation

This year I am taking on an additional class to work with the ACCESS Students at our school. Art can be a very therapeutic and fun experience for children as they explore their own creativity. As educators, it is important to remember that the arts can help students with disabilities in many ways, including: Building fine-motor and problem-solving skills. Enhancing communication and expression. Promoting self-esteem and motivation to succeed.

Project Goal

As educators, it is important to remember that the arts can help students with disabilities in many ways, including: Building fine-motor and problem-solving skills. Enhancing communication and expression. Promoting self-esteem and motivation to succeed.  

 

How Project Benefits Students

While art is important for all children, it's crucial for kids with special needs. Artistic activities directly exercise and strengthen the cognitive and physical skills that generally challenge special needs children, such as oral, tactile, visual, sensory and motor skills.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

The expected outcome for this project is to provide materials specifically for ACCESS art. It is our goal to provide a positive experience that these students look forward to while in school and a chance to explore their own creativity.
