Teaching Theater can be a difficult task. When accommodating students with disabilities it is important to proactively think about these students when making lesson plans. One year I had a student that used a wheel chair. I always took into consideration this students physical needs when designing activates. I never wanted this student to feel awkward about how they were going to participate in the activity. Thinking proactively will help in accommodating students and making them feel safe and secure within you class. |

Tools And Strategies

One way I use technology within my Theater class is the use of video and audio recording of scripts. Students with disabilities that increase reading difficulty rely on these recordings to help in comprehension as well as memorization of lines. Students have the ability to lesson to the scrip and follow along with their script in hand. I have found that it also helps students memorize their lines faster. When I make a recording for my students it is important that I do not add any inflection, this is done so my students can develop their own interpretation of the characters. |

One adaptation that I have implemented in my Theater Class for students with disabilities in the area of reading and reading comprehension is the ability for them to watch a play rather than read the script. I implemented this accommodation then students needed to construct a play analysis. This accommodation allowed my students with disabilities the ability to focus on the content of the play rather than their struggle in reading the play. |
