I had a boy in my 4th grade music class that was autistic.. We were singing a song and doing some movement. He was
not following along but noticed he was smiling and enjoying himself. I brought him to the front of the class and used him as
an example on how to relax and enjoy what you are doing. No one cares how good of a dancer or singer you are, just that you are
trying. It made him feel special and wanted. Many of the kids have been with him for years and are use to him. I also make over him when he
is doing things right. I do keep him at the back of the class most of the time. |

All my students sing and move in my music classes. Students with disabilities love to participate. I usually put a good singer/
dancer next to an special needs student. They help them when needed. I also keep them up front right by me. I constantly praise them for their
efforts in front of the whole class. I will use them an example for their efforts. Not looking for perfection but participation and feeling
good about themselves. A SMILE goes along way! |
