Students with Disabilities

Last year, I had a great deal of difficulty with an autistic student. He was very sensitive to loud or high pitched sounds, which presented a frequently occurring problem in my music classroom. He would react to any unpleasant sounds by yelling out during class to get my attention. In order to help him feel comfortable with these sounds, I would allow him to wear noise-cancelling headphones during instrument activities or activities that included any harsh sounds. With this modification, he was able to focus more on activities which resulted in less disruptions. |

A student in one of my classes has a visual impairment. As a result, he can not see small print very well. To aid him in seeing the material we use in class, I always project lesson material on the SmartBoard so that he can have a larger image and larger print. This is especially helpful when the class is looking at music notation and lyrics. Using the SmartBoard also offers the other students a technology resource to explore the different musical concepts that we learn throughout the year. |

Assessment of Learning

One of my students has a visual impairment. Whenever he takes a test in his other classes, he always has a glass that magnifies the text to where he can see it. In order to give him the same accommodation that he receives in other classes, I have him use the same glass when the class takes an assessment. This gives him a fair chance to accurately read and answer the questions. |
