Our Special Education programs are designed to meet the needs of students who may be seeing or hearing impaired, physically or emotionally challenged or educationally or developmentally disabled. By matching arts disciplines with the needs of these students, artists enhance and develop students' self-esteem and self-confidence, motor skills, sensory/motor integration, social and functional skills, as well as conceptual and communication abilities. Students learn to focus their emotions and energies, improve their literacy and learning skills and experience the pride of achievement. Nearly all Young Audiences' programs can be implemented in a special education setting.
