This research aimed to survey the actual condition and characteristics of the implementation of art classes in hearing special needs schools in Japan and to present future perspectives and issues. A questionnaire was sent to the chief teachers of art in each division of 80 schools, excluding branch schools; 70 responses were received, 68 of which were complete and analyzed. The results of the analysis showed that the difficulty of teaching tended to be generally lower among teachers of hearing special needs schools compared to the results for all types of special needs schools. However, acquiring specialized knowledge about disabilities and developing curricula for playing art activities were more difficult for teachers of hearing special needs schools. Moreover, many of the respondents were positive about the establishment of art and design courses in the higher division and in majors after graduating from the higher division. It is recommended that, in the future, a survey of hearing special needs school graduates and the positioning and utilization of art and design with an inclusive society in mind be conducted.
