It is possible to adapt art activity to meet the needs of any student regardless of physical and medical challenges. Art activities should allow any child to participate with success. This handbook is about tools and devices adapted for and used by physically handicapped and health impaired students for art activities. The handbook also works on the premise to never overlook a tool or device that one has seen before. In the adaptation of art activities to ensure success for all students, it is important to approach each activity with a number of alternative paths to success. The handbook outlines five important points: (1) teach to the individual strengths of each student; (2) success in a given student must be measured on an individual scale; it can even mean participation through observation; (3) what instructors try to teach needs to be meaningful, interesting, and exciting; (4) what is funny is retained more readily than what is boring--do not be afraid to laugh; and (5) do not sweat the small stuff; if something does not work, commit it to memory and try something different. The handbook provides examples of many activities and includes illustrations and photographs. (Contains 29 references.) (BT)
