Students with Disabilities

In music class sometimes it gets loud with instruments playing and lots of singing. I clearly remember when a student in class in the Autism Spectrum became sensitive to these loud sounds. He was showing signs of distress and placed his hand over his ears. As soon as I noticed this I quickly encouraged the class to sing softer and changed the type of songs for more gentle songs. Another time is when a student with an Orthopedic Impairment (OI) was supposed to playing with a group of student. The kids in the other group struggled to include her. I tried to suggest ways to and tried to explain to those students how best to include everyone no matter what without interrupting the class as to not make a big show and call attention to this student. |

I have had a few students with different levels of visual impairment. When I present the students with sheet music it is rather difficult to see the small notes. It has become the norm to blow up to sheet music on our promethean board so it is accessible to all students. It meets the needs of those students with disabilities in a way that does not call attention to those kids. |

Assessment of Learning

The student I have chosen is one with a severe Emotional/Behavioral Disability prohibiting him from doing his assessments and participating in class. I keep a tight routine in my class and work different activities within the routine and reinforce the rules and expectations very often. We also use preferential seating and edit the chart when needed. With these and other accommodations this student can be successful in assessments and other assignments and activities. |
