Students with Disabilities

One of my students this past year had an Orthopedic Impairment. She had a hard time walking and it was very difficult for her to hold her art tools. We ended up doing a lot of hand over hand, but this year, after taking a professional development, we will be ordering some adaptive instruments that will accommodate her and make it easier to grip her tools. |

Tools And Strategies

Two Strategies: 1. I could use keyword strategy more often to tie new words to vocabulary that may already be a part of a students' life. 2. I also enjoyed learning about cubing. That would be a great art project for students. We could make a dry erase cube that they could then use more than once to write the six perspectives on the cube.
One way I have used technology in the classroom is by having students watch guided videos. That way they are able to work at their own pace when practicing an art skill before we begin creating our final project. |

Assessment of Learning

In the past I had a student on the spectrum who was no verbal. When she started with me her aid helped her a lot with hand over hand to help her complete her artwork. We decided it was better to slowly phase out the aid and to let her be more independent. Then I would go up to her and ask her specific questions about what tools we were using (where is the blue paint in the tray, the yellow, now mix them together). I would also have a student assist by asking questions if I was with other students. |
