Students With Disabilities

I currently teach a student with multiple disabilities and have taught her for 3 years. She started out unable to control paint or supplies, but over the years has actually become a much better painter. I found that explaining the benefits of using a smaller brush and less paint slowly showed her that she would be able to control the paint better. At first she resisted because she is so used to being corrected all day long, she would sort of tune me out. But now she is very happy when we get to paint and even helps other, newer students learn the routine of how my students are expected to mix their own colors. |
