Our Voice Through Art with Jodi England
Several years ago the father of an autistic student approached an area art teacher with a plan. His son, a talented artist, found a way to express himself through art. Now the family wanted to offer the same opportunity to teens and adults with special needs in a special evening arts program. They call the program Our Voice Through Art. The six-week classes are held three different times throughout the year for an hour in the evenings. The art teacher is my sister, Jodi England. Jodi has joined us on Anchored in Education before to talk about the importance of art in schools and classrooms. Today she joins us to talk to us about accommodating for students with special needs in the classrooms. She also shares more about the one-of-a-kind organization Our Voice Through Art. After listening to this week's Anchored in Education episode, head over to www.escottengland.com to find the show notes and to read more about Jodi.
