Students with Disabilities

I currently have a student with Autism, no verbal skills. She is a new Kindergarten student mixed in a Art Class with 21 new Kindergarten students. We are lucky to have an One on One Aide with this student. She still is unable to sit and color or paint. She just runs around in circles around my room. I am hopeful as the weeks go by she will be able to handle touching Playdough or something textile. In the past I have found some Austic Children love water and I have filled my sink with toys and let them play! I continually try to adapt and work with something the children are comfortable with. |

Tools And Strategies

Two of the strategies that I use in my art lessons are Frequent Student Responses and Graphic Organizers. I have mulit-step lessons for my Art Projects and as I am modeling the steps I frequently ask for student rep of "What is Next?" or what Art Elements are we using? I also write the step on my Actvi Panel, that allows my students to look back on the board, to eliminate repeated questions about "What do I do now?" |
