Students With Disabilities

Currently I have a student with a hearing disability (HH). The impact on the student and their learning due to the disability is clearly evident in our day to day activities. At the beginning of the year we focused on seat placement so that the student is in the optimal area for the little hearing they have. We also worked on having a seat buddy for any missed instruction or confusion. Some of the issues we work with on a daily basis is making sure instructions are heard/understood. I have added additional information on my board so that the student doesn't feel like they have to constantly ask questions. I have also started to redescribed directions closely once I am done addressing the class. This keeps the embarrassment the students sometimes finds down to minimum. Lastly, the student has also been keeping a little written dialog sheet that they can leave on my desk and we use this as a quiet way to discuss any issue without having to announce what is going on to the whole class. |
