I had a student with a visual impairment. I utilized the large screen video monitor to place the assignment instructions in large print on the screen. He was able to succesfully decifer his assignments and perform very well in the class. His fellow classmates also benefitted from the large print instructions, so no one felt as though they needed to ostracize him. |

I had a student with cerebral paulsy. He had limited use of hi left arm and right leg, as well as some limitations with facial muscles. My summative evaluations for him were based upon effort and improvement upon memory of fingerings and pitch recognition. Whilst other students were advancing toward more challenging range or rhythmic exercises, he would be encouraged to write in pitch names and execute the correct fingering for that pitch. Eventually, he was directed to be able to tap either foot to the downbeat whilst playing. 'Band' became his entire life and he was welcomed into that 'family'. |
