I had a student who had ASD. He would get easily overwhelmed by all the steps required to make his works of art. I provided him with frequent breaks whether that meant getting up and moving around or simply taking a break from the project at his desk. I also had a "safe place" in my classroom where students could go to cool down if needed so he would sometimes go there. |

I had a student with ADHD. He zoned out during instruction, could not focus for a long time, and would get side tracked badly. He started falling behind in class because his ADHD was taking over. I started giving him extra "work" to occupy him. Let him have breaks during long times of working. I had him clean the classroom so he could have a break from thinking about one thing. After I allowed him to have multiple breaks during a class time, he started being able to focus during the time he was supposed to focus, and eventually caught back up with the class. I have had several students with ADHD. I think provided additional tasks is a great idea as well as giving breaks. |

Tools and Strategies

I love to use cooperative learning. It gives students the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with each other. Cooperative learning strategies can help students with disabilities because they can be paired with other students who can help them as needed. Additionally, in the art room, learning centers can give students the chance to explore independent decisions when it comes to what art materials they want to use. Technology I have used in my art class to help a student with a disability is a microphone. He was hard of hearing and sat in the front, but the audio equipment helped tremendously. |

Assessment of Learning

I had a student with autism and I had to give him several breaks throughout the class time as he would get overwhelmed with the numerous steps to create the art projects. Two accommodations that could help a student with ADHD could be to give them additional tasks to complete if they finish early and to provide opportunities for breaks/movement throughout the assessment. |
