I have a student who has O.T. services for fine motor skills. He struggles to write and and his computer is not helpful in music class. We have been working on learning the lines and spaces of the staff and I created a white board with 5 lines made of velcro. He attached his notes to it rather than drawing his notes with a pencil or marker. |

I really like how you used their strengths to accommodate the other student's disability. This is a great way to encourage them and help them at the same time. |

I had a student who was a selective mute. She spoke at home but wouldn't speak at school. This was difficult when it came to music class where students were expected to sing and participate. I found that she would be willing to whisper if it was only the 2 of us in the room. I purchased a whisper phone for her and she "performed" her songs in private outside of the classroom. It turned out that she has a really sweet voice! |
