Students With Disabilities

I had a student in my class who had an Intellectual Disability. The student did not understand the academic skills required for certain lessons and would lose interest easily. In order to help this student to show progress in the their art skills, I would provide visual examples and demonstrate using subject matter that I knew to be of interest to the student. This would help them maintain engagement and interest. I also used peer support to help the student understand any information. Providing shorter requirements and having the student work on artwork that was of their personal interest allowed them to progress in the class. |

Tools and Strategies

One of the strategies I use in my classroom is Peer Partners, I find this helpful as students feel more comfortable and relate to each other. The peer partner is able to model the correct skill for the student with a disability and help guide them as they have learned from the teacher. Students are also more at ease when expressing frustration or a lack of knowledge in an area if they are working with a peer. Another strategy I use in my classroom is the self-evaluation and reflection as the student are able to own their mistakes and learn from them. They are able to think about what they did well and feel a sense of accomplishment as well as help them improve in their skills. |

Assessment of Learning

I have been able to implement alternative assessments for an ASD student in which they can complete the required task with materials they are comfortable with as well as letting the students choose their own topics based on personal interests and they have been more successful as they are more engaged throughout. The student was also able to take a break from the assessment and return after this break ready to continue working. I also make sure to keep the materials easy for the student to use and materials they have encountered and feel they can be successful with. |
