What if strategies designed to support students with disabilities could transform learning for everyone? In this episode, Dr. Rhoda Bernard, Founding Director of the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education and author of Accessible Arts Education, shares how predictability, structure, and universal design principles make arts education accessible to neurodiverse learners—and benefit all students in the process. From visual schedules to advance notice, discover practical strategies that apply far beyond the arts classroom and learn why we can't separate a student's identity from their individuality when creating truly inclusive learning spaces.
