Students with Disabilities

I had a 6th grade student with mild autism and fine motor skill issues. She was not able to hold an instrument, control rhythm of an instrument, or pay attention by herself. The instruments were modified so that she could hold them easier, and She was provided a music buddy, who helped her keep rhythm and to pay attention when the ESE teacher was not in the room or I could not personally assist her. She was not able to write, so instead she typed or her music buddy transcribed the music for her. |

Tools and Strategies

One way I have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in my classroom is through the use of a recorder app for a student that had dysgraphia. She would try to write and it would take her all class period to write just a few sentences. The recorder app was easy for her to use, and it was much less stressful for her than writing. |

I had an autistic student and the Alternative Assessments that could potentially benefit this student in assessing his music learning were - samples of student work produced during regular classroom instruction that demonstrate mastery of specific instructional strategies in place of performance on a computer-scored multiple-choice test covering the same content and skills,
- teacher observation of the student
