Art and disability: the social and political struggles facing education
Wexler, Alice J.
Art has been used in special education as a way of offering psychic freedom, if not bodily freedom, by providing a partial antidote to the social problems generated in an impoverished environment. This book balances theory with practical knowledge and offers critical research that challenges the biases regarding the nature of art and education. ALICE J. WEXLER is Program Director of Art Education at SUNY, New Paltz, USA.
