I direct a non-profit with a mission to support persons with disability and K-12 education. Special education is at their intersection and of special interest. My organization is the Enabling Support Foundation We am working on two projects which I would like to present to you.

We are developing a site on comparative Special Education. What are differences throughout the world in how students with physical, sensory, and intellectual disabilities are treated? This project has just begun but there is a Cross Cultural center on the ESF website and a forum for its discussion.

The second project is student oriented. It is an examination of the mythologies, architecture, art and culture of ancient civilizations. It is not so much a project but a series of resources that can be used to create a multitude of projects. You can see these resources at http://teachersconnecting.com/?q=node/755

We welcome collaboration.

I feel that the more students discover the history of art and create art as part of their life style they will become better citizens of their village, country and the world. With that in mind I am creating an online art history course which can be found at ahaafoundation.org

This is intended to teach the development of the history of art around the world and the Asia Society could play a huge role by collaborating with this foundation.

If those of you who take a look at ahaafoundation.org will get back to me great things could happen.
