Think of a student with a disability you have now or in the past. Describe ways in which their disability affected their learning in your class.
I teach art to ASD students with a wide range of abilities. I use visual aids like examples, instructional videos, handouts for all of my lessons that benefit all of my students' learning. Some of the lower-level performing ASD students however are not able to engage in the grade-level content regardless of how many adaptations or modifications I utilize. In such cases, I physically assist the students to manipulate the materials but they are not really understanding the learning goals or reaching the desired learning targets of the lesson. |

Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to describe the specific technology and how it assisted the student with a disability.
I use instructional demonstration videos in the classroom while students are working to support those who may go at a slower pace, benefit from repeating the steps as needed or, who require additional modeling to support their own engagement in the learning activity. |

Assessment of Learning

Describe an example of adapted assessment you have successfully used in the fine arts classroom for students with disabilities.
I use ongoing informal assessments for certain students to determine what parts of the learning goal they do and do not understanding. I ask questions as students are working to see if I can help steer them in the right direction and or, I pair a student who is struggling with a classmate who demonstrates a high level of understanding. If a student may not yet have the necessary skill-set to arrive at the desired grade-level summative product, I use ongoing assessments throughout the lesson to determine the progress in their individual learning. |
