Students With Disabilities

I have been working with a student with intellectual disabilities as well as other disabilities. He was hesitant to perform or even speak in class, but now with the help of an aid that is more supportive of his abilities and temperament the student has been more apt to try and perform regularly! I have to keep a calm tone with the student and make everything sound "chill" so he doesn't build up the assignments to be something of a big deal that he wouldn't be able to handle. |

Assessment of Learning

One assessment I used with my student with intellectual and language disabilities was a theatre vocabulary test. The acting vocabulary shared within the unit was trimmed down to meet his needs without overwhelming him. He was given a simplified notes page to read with the aid using his accommodated read aloud items. He had to identify the terms from the vocabulary cards given to him to match to the words as he came across them in the notes. He then drew a picture on the back of the card to represent each term. He was then given a multiple choice test and was allowed to use his created cards to assist him with the assessment. |

Tools And Strategies

Technology definitely would help my student with intellectual and language disabilities. Being able to listen to music while reading aloud would allow him to focus on the words and less on the noise around him. If he had a tablet, he could interact with vocabulary term better through an app. He already accesses information through Google Classroom, but having a tablet to carry with him as he works would be more connecting for him than a laptop. |
