In this Guide, we aim to explore arts integration through a Special Education lens, examining how artistic processes support students' sense of being, agency, and development. For students with exceptionalities, the arts offer accessible and affirming ways to construct meaning, express understanding, and experience learning in ways that support social, communication, and cognitive challenges in subject-based learning. For neurodivergent and cognitively challenged learners, an arts integration approach is humanizing rather than deficit-based.  We will also examine how students' learning outcomes in non-credit courses can be supported through arts-integration pedagogy. We will apply this learning to the Ontario Ministry of Education.
