Creates grants to help arts teachers better include students with disabilities in classrooms.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help arts educators and creative arts therapists learn how to better teach children with disabilities. It would set aside $15 million over five years for schools and other groups to develop inclusive arts programs and materials. This means more children with disabilities could fully participate in school arts classes.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program authorized to fund professional development for arts educators and creative arts therapists focused on accommodating children with disabilities in arts education. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Education would be authorized to establish a competitive grant program. This program would fund eligible entities for professional development, curricula development, and innovative approaches to improve the inclusion of children with disabilities in arts education, with $15,000,000 set aside for this purpose over five years.
