Art and SPED: How I cultivate the classroom
Teaching an art SPED classroom means creating a safe, flexible space where every student can communicate and succeed. Art allows students with diverse abilities to express emotions, build fine motor skills, and gain confidence. I adapt lessons, use visual supports, and celebrate process over perfection. Each day brings growth, creativity, and meaningful connections that make teaching both challenging and deeply rewarding. Patience, structure, and encouragement guide my practice, while collaboration with families and staff supports student success. I value inclusion and joy.Patience, structure, and encouragement guide my practice, while collaboration with families and staff supports student success. I value inclusion and joy.
