By participating in the arts, people with disabilities make a significant contribution to our workplace and community, help to address old-age disabilities, and create a broader culture of representation for all people.
Art improves living in many ways. It promotes personal and academic success, from the beginning of a child's education to adulthood and career. Elementary school students participating in the music program have high marks in reading, math, language, and general achievement tests. Students studying art in high school earn high marks. And students who take part in arts courses become proficient in writing and vocabulary skills. Such discoveries underscore the importance of art in positively shaping the lives of all people, including those with disabilities.
Because art is an infinite and unlimited field, people with disabilities are free to express themselves without physical, social, or behavioral barriers.
Art is a universal language that has the power to unite all mankind.
