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 had an ESE student 2 years ago. He was smaller than other student in class. From my first impression, this student appeared to be bright. Someday he came to class and he was could not sit still in his seat and was constanty talking to his peers, even when they did not want to talk to him. Other days he came to class and did his work without any disruption and hyperfocus on his work. The pattern was unpredictable. One day he got into an argument with his peers and got the whole class against him. I decided to pull this student aside to speak with him. I tried to let him know that I was there to help him not to punish him. I found out that day, his mother did not give him his medication before school, he also told me that sometime he ran out of medicine and his mother could not buy them. We worked out a plan that would help him on the days that he needed extra help. This student trusted me did worked in class to the best of his ability even when he was not having the medication he needed. |

2. Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your art classroom. Be sure to identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I had a student who was on the Autism Spectrum. He was struggling with traditional pencil and paper drawing lesson. I spoke with his mother and she told me he loved to draw but for some reason he was doing a lot better with his ipad using Procreate program with Apple pencil. He was able to completed all the required asignment and more. Family members are the best resource to tap into to find ways to work with students. |
