When I started working for a school in Florida, my first experience in a contained classroom as for a professional. Students with various disabilities or conditions participate in the classroom, including paralysis of the brain, down syndrome and autism. I remember that we used various tools to simplify the required standards. The teacher taught me how to use accommodations according to her individualized educational plan. In addition to creating classes according to their academic needs. Within the classroom, different activities were prepared for the students, depending on their level of ability, seeking to reach their highest potential and always aligned with the same objective. Among many things, I remember how the use of technology increased communication specifically with a student with the condition of paralysis. At the beginning of the semester, participation was attempted with manipulatives, visual images and others, but it was little or none. Then he was able to obtain a tablet aligned with his communication needs and was a great help. Increase not only participation, but also integration in activities with other students. |
