Arts integrated learning is defined as an approach to education that employs the use of the fine arts, both visual and performing, as a primary path to education in main subjects, such as science, English, and mathematics – and, in turn, uses these subjects to enhance learning of the arts. Not all forms of arts in the classroom can necessarily be referred to as art integration. Arts education, in the traditional sense, is art class. Students gather together with an art, music, or dance teacher whose primary purpose in the school is to teach lessons focused on the arts, separate from the aforementioned major subjects.

The education sequester has put the needs of children with disabilities, especially those from low-income families, on the chopping block in recent months.
