art, adapted.

adapted art in a gen-Ed world.

we see kids for the awesome humans they are - no labels, no misperceptions, no stereotypes, no limitations.

don’t call me special. i’m just me!

see me!

art, adapted. is a visual arts education and consulting company. We have a fundamental belief that standards-based general education art curriculum can and should be adapted for all students.

i’m not a syndrome.

kids with special needs are more than a label.

reimagine

art for all kids, where students with special needs have equal arts education with their gen-ed peers.

RISE ABOVE the expectation that special-needs students can’t be creative or expressive.

i’m just a kid:)

i’m more than on a spectrum.

My dream is to create a world where ALL kids have access to high quality standards-based visual arts education. A world where kids, like Beau, are seen as kids and not a label.

art, adapted.

art, adapted. works to debunk the perception that visual arts standards-based curriculum will be too difficult for students with special needs and disabilities.

With the right supports and adapted curriculum, students with special needs can express creativity and thrive.

Adapted art encourages expressive communication and independence through simple one and two step instruction, communication, choice, and project specific visuals, depending on grade-level and developmental ability.

what is adapted art?

Focused on inclusion, empowerment, and creative expression, adapted art is designed to make the visual arts and art education accessible to individuals with disabilities and special needs. Adapted art educators' utilize the modification of tools and materials, artistic techniques and national visual arts curriculum, communication, visuals, and instructional methods to adapt art.
