Case Study #9: Students With Special Needs

This case study was offered by Nancy Walkup, an Art Education Professor, from Texas.

When I was teaching middle school, I had a class that included six Down's Syndrome students, a number of behavior-disabled students, and some kids who were really interested in art.

If you were Mrs Walkup, how would you approach this class? What types of art experiences would you offer these students?

Find out how Mrs. Walkup worked with this class.
