“I believe the arts – dance, theater, visual arts and music – are the soul of the school...Years of research show that an education that includes the arts is closely linked to almost everything that we as a state and nation say we want for our children: academic achievement, social and emotional development, civic engagement and equitable opportunity.”

• All artists in schools and art educators should be prepared to include students with disabilities in their instruction.
