Art programs growing priority for disability service providers
Accessible Arts released findings of a recent survey, Arts Programs/Projects for People with disability in NSW at the Community Participation Conference, presented by National Disability Services in February 2011. The research identifies availability and models of delivery of existing arts programs for people with disability across the state.
Accessible Arts CEO Sancha Donald said, "Arts programs are a growing priority for disability service providers, including digital media projects using new technologies.”
The findings also identify a low proportion of arts professionals presenting arts programs, low use of arts specific locations and high occurrence of programs delivered in non-integrated settings.
The research, now available online, was funded by the Department of Human Services, Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care, and is a useful resource for both government and the disability sector when scoping and planning future programs and projects.
