Students With Disabilities

I recently had a student on the autism spectrum disorder in a technical theatre class. It was often he would become distracted and could potentially cause harm to himself or others when using tools. By giving him very specific tasks in the project his group was working on, he was able to be successful in his task and also show a sense of pride by contributing to the final project. |

- Last year I adapted a Technical Theatre portfolio and resume assignment by having the student submit pictures of the projects he workedon during the semester. He was on the Austism Spectrum.
- For a student with an intellectual disability who had a performance project I could give a shorter passage to perform, or allow her to work with students in a small group performance. This would benefit the student as she would still be working on performing skills such as confidence, articulation, projection and expression, but the learning would be differentiated to meet her needs.

Tools And Strategies

- I use Cornell notes regularly anytime we take notes on a subject in my classroom. I usually then follow up with a Kahoot or Nearpod review to help the students engage. I would like to try to use the task cards in the future as I think those would be an easier way for me to organize content/tasks for my students.
- I have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in my classroom by allowing students to retake the safety exam via a computer. The student would take the exam, we would review it in small groups and then the student could take it multiple times.
