Art has the capacity to engage exceptional learners, regardless of the nature of their exceptionalities. Students who experience difficulty with academic subjects may enjoy visual art activities with which they engage holistically to learn problem-solving skills and interact positively with their environment, including the social environment of the classroom. When art educators are included in the teams that develop students' Individual Education Plans (IEPs), they can support the teams' efforts to meet the students' learning needs by finding hands-on ways to develop skills that apply to other classroom contexts. Whether gifted or challenged by physical, mental, intellectual, emotional, or behavioural disabilities, exceptional students can find personal success in art.
