Students With Disabilities

I currently have two autistic students. Both are very bright students but have difficulty transitioning from a classroom setting to a studio setting. Communicating with classmates and acquiring and setting up supplies is overwhelming at times. Pairing each student with an appropriate classmate to act as a studio partner and providing a studio location to minimize distractions is working well thus far. |

Tools and Strategies

The two strategies I could use in my classroom to help students that I currently teach with disabilities are Task Cards and Cooperative Learning. Task cards are helpful in breaking down a complex multi-stepped procedure. Approaching the assignment one task at a time eliminates stress and increases overall success in the completion of the assignment. I have two students with physical disabilities and use Cooperative learning with carefully selected small groups and found that the social skills and level of participation for all students in the group has improved. |

I have 2 students with physical disabilities that have great difficulty manipulating pencils and paint brushes. They both love art class but were very frustrated and disappointed in their completed projects. Our school acquired 2 I-pads for these students to use and and it has made a world of difference in their projects and their productivity in class. |
