 Accessible Arts, Inc.
(AAI) and the Kansas State Board of Education (KSBE) recognize the
valuable work in Kansas of artists and educators who include children
with disabilities in arts experiences. To honor these individuals,
KSBE and AAI established two awards in 1983, one for Distinguished
Service (now the Distinguished Service in Arts and Disabilities) and
one for the Kansas Special Needs Arts Educator of the Year (now the
Kansas Educator of the Year in Arts and Disabilities). These awards
are presented in conjunction with the annual KSBE meeting held at
the Kansas State School for the Blind in Kansas City, Kansas. |
| The
Educator of the Year is selected by a committee from nominations by
peers. The Distinguished Service Award recipient is selected by the
Accessible Arts Honors Committee. |
