I currently have a student with coded as OHI and her 504 says "mental impairment". She is in my 2D art class of 38 students. One of the best things I did is seat her with a very kind and bright student who is willing to help her when she needs it. I also have to do a comprehension check on her for how well she understands the instructions. Often I have to give her one on one help with assignments to get her on track. She does try hard and is not afraid to work so that is helpful. My main problem is having too many students - she is not the only one who needs more individual help, so I do the best I can. |

I had a student on the autism spectrum that had a real problem with paint getting on his hands. We were doing a pointillism painting project, so I let him use the paint program on an ipad to create his using digital dots of color. It looked really awesome, and it worked perfectly to accommodate his tactile defensiveness to the messy paint without sacrificing his comprehension and ability to synthesize the information on color theory with the style of pointillism. |

Assessment of Learning

Adaptive: I had a student who soaked up information auditorily and visually, but had major problems with reading and writing. When giving students an ongoing assessment that was based on written questions and responses, I read all of the questions aloud to the whole class, and then when I graded the assessment, I had the student individually explain his written answers (they were illegible). He did very well on the assessment this way and since the objective of the assessment was to see what information and comprehension they had on a certain topic, and not about his abillity to read and write, I got the assessment data I needed that was accurate to his knowledge and comprehension. |

I had a student last year with Autism and ADHD. I was able to adjust projects to involve his specific interests so that he was more engaged and less distracted. For example when animating a person in motion, while most students chose reference video of real people doing sports, dance, gymnastics, etc., I allowed him to animate from a scene from Star Wars (his specific interests) of a light saber fight. This made him more interested and more determined to stick with the project that by the nature of the medium can get tedious. |

Tiered learning through task cards could help when teaching graphic design by creating task cards with varying levels of abstract and concrete communication objectives, like “Design an invitation that gives the feeling of luxury and exclusivity” vs “Design a logo that uses the Initials of a company”
Cubing can be used to analyze example designs for success in different principles of design.
I have allowed students to choose the tool that works best for them when drawing digitally- we have stylus’s that work directly in the screen, but some students prefer to use a Wacom drawing tablet instead because it feels more like the texture of a pencil when drawing and one of my students with autism has sensory issues and hates the feeling of the stylus on the glass of the laptop screen, so having the option of using the Wacom is extremely helpful. |

I had a student that struggled with reading and writing in grade level. He was very intelligent and soaked up everything we were learning about the art from Ancient Egypt. When giving him the final unit assessment, I read the questions to him and he verbally answered and I wrote what he said. He was one of the few students to get a 100 in the class, but if I hadn’t done this he would have most likely failed the test. |
