Students with Disabilities

I have recently had a student with a rare physical disability that has caused the connective tissues in his joints to not develop.
He was not able to hold the normal drum sticks without issues, so we developed a grip on the sticks to help with control. The grip helped tremendously and allowed him to stay on par with the other percussionists in the class. A laptop was used to allow him to speak responses to text on written assignments. He is a very bright student and with modifications to equipment and limited physical demands he is able to master most standards involved. |
