Since its initial release in 2006, "Reaching and Teaching Students with Special Needs Through Art" has remained one of NAEA's best-selling books of all time. Now, in 2024, in collaboration with Routledge, NAEA is proud to release an all-new second edition of this important text that offers respectful updates in language and terminology while staying true to the original concept of these timeless topics. Written for art educators, special educators, and those who value the arts for students with special needs, the new edition of "Reaching and Teaching Students with Special Needs Through Art" builds upon the positive responses of the first edition, and now combines over 700 years of the educational experience from educators who share their art lessons, behavior management strategies, and classroom stories. This revised edition provides updated chapters addressing students with emotional/behavioral disabilities; learning disabilities; intellectual disabilities; physical disabilities; and visual and hearing impairments; plus, chapters discussing students with autism spectrum disorder; preschool students; and students experiencing trauma. All chapters have been updated to include current definitions and language, recommended teaching strategies, art lesson adaptations, behavior management strategies, and references to related chapters. Follow-up activities are also provided for further insights into each group of students. A new summary chapter has also been included to connect how the authors' experiences and collaborations helped create the newly formed Division of Visual and Performing Arts Education (DARTS) at the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), and the Arts in Special Education (ASE) NAEA interest group (formerly known as the Special Needs in Art Education interest group). This edition is ideal for preservice arts methods courses and education courses on accessibility and inclusion at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It continues to offer current yet proven best practices for reaching and teaching this ever-important population of students through the arts.
