Students With Disabilities

I had a student with ADHD and Behavioral Disorder who, for the most part had no interest in art. I decided that I would play soft music in my room and sat him at the back of room; therefore, I was able to get around to the back and work with those at his table (with a focus on him), before I would walk around to other groups. After completing my lesson, I would go to his table and demonstrate lesson once again. I would reassure him that he just had to do his best but to take pride in his work. Once he realized that it was doable, he took interest and ownership. He began to turn in his work and focus a little more. By the end of the semester, he was actually asking the class to be quiet so that he could understand what he had to do, which created a reaction from others. I believe all students can be successful in art. It is a subject that can be taught just like any other subject and is as important as any academic subject. |
