Students with Disabilities

I have a 4th grade student who is ADHD and it affects his whole experience in my classroom from staying focused and on-task to even staying seated long enough to create anything. I moved that student near me for redirecting. I write lesson steps on the board with visuals so the student can see what is next if they lose their place in the directions. |

1. 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 can think of two specific uses for technology with two students in my classroom. One of my students has a hearing disability. I use a special microphone that hangs from my neck that transmits my voice to his hearing aids. This way no matter where I am in the art room he can hear me. I have another student who has a speech problem. She doesn't speak and uses a tablet with pictures, text, etc. that she can write out what she wants to say and it will say it. This helps with our communication. |

Assessment of Learning

I have a student with a visual impairment. When I assess this student in written form, I give them a adapted handout with extra large print so they can read it easily without struggling. They also use a colored overlay to help as well. |
