I have worked with students over the year with different disabilities. Each one was different and required an individual accommodation. Allowing the student to work with me to come up with the best accommodation has been invaluable. Students thrive when they are given autonomy over their environment. Allowing a student with ADHD to choose their space in class or a student with OHI to come up with their choice of signals to ask for help or assistance enables to student to feel in control of their development and take pride in their art form. Working with my student to develop accommodations for their OI enabled that student to understand how to move safely and get to most out of their art. They were able to grow along with the class and build confidence, appreciation and leadership. Their understanding of their body and how to accommodate exercises and movement for their ability allowed them to reach out to others that struggled with basic movement complications and help guide them to solutions that could work with them as well. |
