3.9.10 Museum Studies for the Gifted: Making Art More Inclusive and Appealing for the Talented
This project describes the inclusion process of twice-exceptional gifted students diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder through joint work between Mexican art museums actions and special needs centers. This seven-month qualitative study focused on the application of art teaching as an inclusive strategy from several participants’ perspectives (students, professors, museum curators, and art directors). These findings resulted in a guide that describes the specific steps for inclusive audience engagement and catering to students with special needs. In addition, it analyzed the further actions other non-art museums can provide for accessible learning environments that accommodate gifted children.
