This activity enables students to draw, hear, and say symbols. • Students could also develop dance groups to create dance moves that include a certain number of beats per measure. • Teachers could also lead a large or small group in music and dance activities that require the mimicking of sequenced movements or vocalizations (Dail & Melton, 2009).

  10. Adaptations: Art Reduce number of materials Simplistic directions Sequential steps Large materials Cushioned materials Dexterity support Adaptations: Music Hand over hand support Big Mac Extended demonstration Extended practice Slow tempos Sequential movements Alternative movements Utilizing The ArtsTypical Adaptations

  11. Utilizing The ArtsConclusion In this presentation we have learned of seven ideas that incorporates the use of the arts. The Arts play an important role in the development of students attention, creativity, manual dexterity, speech, cognition, socialization, fine and gross motor skills. Children with disabilities need every opportunity to develop such skills.
