- Every person deserves access to appropriate learning experiences in the arts.
- All artists in schools should be appropriately prepared to include students with disabilities in their instruction.
- All children, youth and adults with disabilities should have complete access to community cultural facilities and activities.
- All individuals with disabilities who aspire to careers in the arts should have the opportunity to develop skills.
