I have had a student that had dyslexia in my dance class. As for her technical and choreographic work she was an outstanding dancer. When it came to her written work or vocabulary test, I would find alternative assessments for her. For instance, when taking a quiz on positions of port de bras, I would have her model it. When it came to vocabulary test, I could have her verbally give me the definition and/or perform the movement. |

Tools And Strategies

-Two strategies that I can use in my class is Cubing when reflecting on choreographic works. Students can deepen discussions on the choreographic development, intention, movement vocabulary, preferences, etc... In technique class breaking down content is what we do each day. The levels of tiered learning to learn and master the material.
-In choreography classes, there are now apps students can use to put together movement sequences. Even if a student is unable to physically demonstrate the movement they want to choreograph and see on dancers, they can use these apps to create their movement. In addition to creating the movement you can see the pieces with music, rearrange, and play with timing. |

2. I have had a student in the past who dealt with dislexia. For vocabulary test I could alter my assessments by having them perform the position or movement as well as vocally answer the terminology. |
