The Expressive Arts Outreach (EAO) project, housed at the Center for Best Practices in Early Childhood (the Center) at Western Illinois University, was funded in 2000 by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) as a 3-year outreach project. The target population was 3-8 year old children with a wide range of disabilities, their families, teachers, and program staff. Project resources focused on providing experiences in the expressive arts used in the general curriculum to a traditionally underrepresented segment of the population: young children with disabilities. The Expressive Arts (EA) model, developed and tested during a 5-year model demonstration period beginning in 1992, was developed for diverse ethnic and cultural groups. Individuals with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities were part of the planning, implementation, and evaluation process. A prior OSEP-funded EA outreach project, referred to in this report as EAO Phase 1, began in 1997.
