Students With Disabilities

I have many students with a wide variety of disabilities in my art room. I have a new student with autism and who has an intellectual handicap and he is one of my favorite students. I have to say I love all my students. I ask the aide and work closely with their head ESE teacher for support. I usually spend time with them talking and observing their motor skills and adapting the materials to meet their needs. They produce sooo much artwork its hard to keep up with them! I show my students where their supplies are and how to clean up. I sometimes ask others in the classroom to help and really try to build a community in the classroom by doing small short class and team activities. |

Tools and Strategies

Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your art classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name, and describe how they could be used to address the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion
I see many with the same strategies that I use in my art room. Cooperative learning is embedded in our school, working in teams with projects and getting supplies, reflection, brainstorming or just plain brain breaks.
I would like to investigate using Cubing and Task cards in my room. Cubing exploring 6 different points of view or areas of study and Task Cards would be great tool for setting up students with the process of a project. Will help manage my time with so many students who need direction.
GREAT! |

Assessment of Learning

Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the art classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
Most of my students have autism and intellectual disabilities and assessment in my classroom for all my students always includes work ethic. They usually work hard and FAST. Exit tickets, written or verbal is something I will reintroduce. |
