"Jimmy" is blind and is accompanied by a paraprofessional. I quickly found that being blind only prevented Jimmy from seeing the work, people, environment, etc. His personality and motivation were strengths he brought to the classroom. One of his favorite activities was when we played Kahoot to review our math. His fellow students volunteered to partner with him and would read the choices and guide him to the answer he indicated. There were many times when he would ask his paraprofessional to let him come to class by himself. I regularly affirmed his participation and abilities. |

As a school counselor i work with the team in planning IEP's. We work to discover the interests of our students and incorporate fine arts into their plan. I can direct the teachers to the resources that apply to their discipline as well as encourage them to engage in ongoing assessment and reflection of their teaching process. I believe we can learn alot from having others observe us in action and then process what was observed. |
