Special Needs and Gifted Students.

Special Needs and Gifted Students In Art Education

In Art, as well as academics,  I think that you may find that there are a lot of similarities to the approach to teaching both special needs students and gifted students. You will find that they also work very well together.  Gifted students will be challenged and gain a great amount of experience when paired with a special needs students.  Special needs students receive one on one help and build invaluable peer relationships.  Both gain a deeper understanding of others.  This can hold true for any students working with special needs students.

My personal options about specific lesson is keep the lessons the same for all the students, however you will need to modify aspects of the assignment on individual bases to suit the individuals needs. I take it as it comes.  What worked for one student doesn't always work for another.  Everyone can do it; it's just a matter of how we are going to get there. Techniques and tools may need to be modified for physical, emotional, or mental reason (this includes modifications  to challenge a student more).  

Please remember no matter what, all students want to be engaged and helpful!
