I enjoyed this article because it explained more about art as a medium. I believe that using mediums in the classroom are very important to reach children at different levels and give them different views of the same thing. In my own classroom, I know I will be using music, art, and many different mediums to interact with my children. It is important to me that my students feel comfortable in what they will learn and be exposed to all different kinds of learning.

Not only do these mediums help children with special needs but also these mediums can help everyone in the classroom. I think that inclusive classrooms are very understanding and educated in that all mediums and resources that are helpful not only to their special needs students but also to your "typical" student. Elevators do not only help people in wheelchairs but also help everyone else as well. Mediums are very important! They benefit everyone. 

Art is very interesting in getting children with autism to learn in the classroom because alot of their lives are comprehended through pictures. This is something that I would be interested to learn alot more about.
