The document outlines the evolution of the author's thesis topic from an initially broad focus on how art education can be informed by brain research, examples of artists with disabilities, and children's books, to a narrowed focus on how art education can change perceptions of disability and support students with disabilities. The author realized the initial topic included too many separate ideas. Their research led them to focus on perceptions of disability in art, instructional strategies for teaching art to students with various disabilities, and how art can support academic growth and be assessed for students with disabilities. The new thesis aims to explore how art education can promote social change by challenging views of disability and increasing inclusion.
