Describe how fine arts educators can use the state and federal laws to advocate for the inclusion of students with disabilities in fine arts.
Fine arts educators can use state and federal laws to advocate for the inclusion of students with disabilities in fine arts by being knowledgeable of the laws. Their understanding of the laws will allow them to enhance their instructional practices to support students with a disability. If a student is scheduled in instrumental music and has visual, physical, intellectual, or behavioral disabilities, a teacher can implement strategies to help the student in the normal classroom setting. If a student has a physical disability, a teacher can include the student by allowing the student to play an alternative instrument. If the student has an intellectual disability, a teacher can arrange to provide tier 3 instruction/private lessons to increase the student's depth of knowledge. A teacher can also modify the individual music parts to help support students with a disability. |
