Students with Disabilities

I previously taught a student who was deaf/hard of hearing. This obviously impacted his ability to receive instruction from me and limited his participation in class discussions. I did wear a microphone connected to an FM system so that he could better hear me through his hearing aids and he also had a sign language interpreter assigned to work with him. I also made sure that he had preferential seating in the classroom so that he was better able to see demonstrations and had a visual cue for instructions. |

In my classroom, I have used speech-to-text technology. This tool is especially helpful for students with disabilities to record written responses to questions. I love that it enables students to work more confidently and independently. |

For a former student I had with language disabilities, she did not possess strong verbal communication skills, I allowed the adaptation that she could draw a response to a question rather than write or dictate a response. |
