Think of a student with a disability you have now, or have had in the past. Identify their disability. Describe the way in which their disability affected their learning. Describe at least one or more ways you successfully accommodated or modified instruction for this student. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
In my theatre class I had a student with a hearing impairment. He was a lip reader so I seated him in the front of the class so that he could always see my face. When we watched videos, I engaged the close captioning. For scene work, I make sure he is paired or grouped with students who understand that they must look at him when they speak and I repeat directions as needed. I also provide written directions and notes. |

Tools And Strategies

One way I have successfully adapted an assessment in my high school theatre classroom was for an ESE student who struggled with reading and writing. Rather than write a script for a play writing assessment himself, I had the student use his memo app on his phone to record his ideas and his dialogue. He then had a partner transcribe the script and read it back to him so that he could revise. |
