I had a student in my music classroom who had an OI. She was born with one arm underdeveloped. Accommodating her impairment was always a moment included in my lesson plan. If we were playing melody on xylophone I would make sure the tempo would allow for the melody to be executed with one mallet. With hand drums I would ensure that she had access to a drum that could be played and secured by her. |

I have used technology to assist with a student who was hearing impaired. She came into my classroom with a listening system that I would wear a mic, and the sound was transmitted to her wirelessly. It took a little time for me to get used using this device, but I was able to incorporate it into my lessons rather easily over time. |

I recall a student with motoneuron impairment that made writing difficult. As the class was working on notating pitch I had a large staff printed and cut out note heads that allowed him to complete the task and demonstrate mastery without the use of a traditional pencil and paper. |
