Students with Disabilities

I have a student that I teach in Beginning Guitar, as well as being a member of our string orchestra with the Itinerant Teacher. The main thing that we both stressed was that we needed to be consistent with him, never to throw anything at him without preparation and to always just "do his best". He is a very good student and is an excellent athlete. We got the ESE team going and with all our input, he's coming along quite nicely, including his new understanding of "personal space" when talking to anyone. We also got him to start asking questions if he wasn't quite sure of fingerings on his guitar or violin, counting or anything else musically which we felt was a major victory in both ensembles. |

In my area of teaching music, the largest adapted assessment I've ever had to do is to give more time for the student and to move slowly to make sure the student/s understand the questions. Sometimes I've even broken up the questions if they required multiple answers so the student could answer or perform the task one item at a time. |

The only type of adapted assessment I've ever had to use is to add time and break up questions for the student in question. Slowing down the time they needed and breaking down the multiple part questions was all that the student needed to achieve a high success rate. |
