Assessment of Learning

I had a student who was hearing impaired and also had an emotional/behavioral disability. Once this was brought to my attention I changed up how I would deliver the lesson. Step by Step instructions were listed on the board so students could refer to after I would model it. I made eye contact with this particular student so he could read my lips and I could see he was engaged. I would sometimes sit beside his table to have a casual conversation while he worked which helped him focus and stay on task.

Sometimes I will deliver my lesson through a Youtube video that is upbeat and many times gives you the information through song. For example, Scratch Garden's Color Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8yuyekP_So&t=1s
I have had great success with this strategy especially with a few of my students who have emotional/behavioral disabilities. It's like slipping spinach into your smoothie. |

Students with Disabilities

I presently have a student who I think might have an Intellectual Disability. Little to no communication has made it to the Specialist teachers so we are just guessing. The student is very distracted by my computer desktop and the windows. The student will moan and rock when there are loud noises so assemblies have been a bit challenging for this student. The student cannot follow simple directions or work independently. I have not been given any advice nor tips on what works best for this student and his conditions. What has been implemented is a full time assistant to accompany the student and help him throughout the day. The assistant is giving him the "One on one" attention he really needs and has helped so much that he can stay with his class and enjoy everything the rest of the students do. |
