Through the Special Education Artist Academy (SEAA), Arts Horizons is leading an innovative training intensive for Teaching Artists on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).  Truly a one of a kind program, this tiered training model provides mentorship, practicum experience and professional development to support best practices in special education and the arts.   Residency practicum sites are offered in music, dance and theater arts in collaboration with NYC Special Education District 75 and use the arts to enrich learning and support individual education outcomes for students with Autism.

The SEAA has been awarded a multi year grant from the DANA foundation and is made possible with support from New York Community Trust, and the TD Charitable Foundation through Commerce Bank.
