"Describe an example of adapted assessment that you have used in the fine arts classroom for a student with disabilities:"
A few years back I taught a student who was bling. I used the buddy system and paired him with several peers to help him learn moves and footing. I also put all reading material on audio for him to listen too. I put and bright tape out to mark standing positions. Everyone enjoyed working with him, he was a quick study and liked learning which was so nice. |

I have a student on the spectrum who came in as a 9th grader with no IEP and the first day of school was found sitting on the roof of the school of his medication. He has since proven to be quite the handful both in class and out for the administration. He is into pot and lacks a filter, speaks openly about gay sex and says he loves theater but is off-task daily in class when he is at school. I am doing my best to set him up with interventions at school with the school counselor and psychologist. He has even vandalized the school. This kid needs help fast! The best I've done thus far to keep him in check for me is make him my assistant and give him some responsibilities - which he seems to respond well too.
Hang in there, you could be the difference this child needs. |

Tools And Strategies

- Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name and describe how they could be used to address a student with a disabilities needs.
I have used chaining in my class where I have broken down task into smaller steps to help struggling that get overwhelmed and stressed. I have also used story mapping and venn diagrams when reviewing lessons with the class. Some students are more visual learners and I have found it helps to keep students involved in the lesson.
- Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to describe the specific technology and how it assisted the student with a disability.
I have used both computers and iPads in my classroom to help struggling student. I had a student who could not read on a white background. If you changed the color to yellow and black the child could read fine. I have also used technology by playing the Jeopardy game with my class before test and doing video lessons. |

"Think of a student with a disability you have now or in the past. Describe ways in which their disability affected their learning in your class."
I have had many students with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) and here are some of the ways it has affected them in class.
- They make careless mistakes on classwork and overlooks details.
- They have difficulty following instructions especially multi task instructions.
- They are easily distracted and sometime very unorganized.
- They are forgetful and do not finish their work.
- They often loose book, homework, pencils, etc.
- They are sometimes impulsive and blurt out answers before a questions are completed.
- They like to move around, and cannot sit in seat to long.
