I had a student in piano class with autism, who struggled with controlling his emotions or dealing with loud sounds. We had 11 keyboards, each with two students all making sound at once most of the time. I allowed this student to sit by himself, and use headphones block the noise of others. I would also allow him to get up and walk into the hallway when he was being overwhelmed by his emotions. |

Differentiation could be used to simplify music for a student with an intellectual disability and still have them be able to contribute to the ensembles success. Grouping practices, peer partners could be used to pair a student with ADHD with a highly organized student who can help the other maintain focus, or catch them up when they do lose focus.
A student with a language disability was given a laptop to aid them with written and verbal responses. |

In music theory, a student with mild hearing impairment was given a paper with prompts on it for listening assignments, when most students were just asked to write on a sheet of notebook paper given prompts verbally from me. |
