Students with Disabilities

I have a student with cerebral palsy in my 7th grade class. With him, he has difficulty holding a drawing instrument for an extended period of time before he gets tired and frustrated. Painting is an easier task for him with little frustration because he does not have to apply so much pressure as in a pencil or sharpie marker. He puts forth maximum effort and does a wonderful job at completing the assignments. |

Tools And Strategies

Ive used technology with children with disabilities by having them use Ipads to help with the venn diagrams when comparing and contrasting paintings. I also allow the children to create artwork on the computers applications. One particular student has cerebral palsy and has difficulty holding a pen or pencil for a long time so the ipad facilitates this and decreases his frustration. Going forward I would like to use Peer Partners to have children helping children when they are finding a task at hand difficult. I do find that they are more open to other children helping them to being shown by me. |

Assessment of Learning

I have a student who is completely deaf in one ear and has learned to read lips. I make sure when addressing the class, he is always on my left side (his hearing side is closest to me) and that he can see my lips as he has learned to read lips. I go over the assignment with him to make sure he understands what is expected of him. He does a quick pre assignment as to show me he knows what is expected and then he does his assignment. |
