How are art therapy programs and services in schools funded?
Federal funds for special students such as the disabled and alternative education students can be designated for art therapy through funding sources of the local school district, as long as eligible candidates for treatment are identified and there is a qualified staff art therapist to provide art therapy. Funds for all students may also be obtained from monies allocated through local school budget sources such as tax dollars or business support of programs and services. Grants, too, provide excellent vehicles for funding art therapy.
