Students with Disabilities

I have several children that are physically impaired along with impaired cognition, often with limited movement in their arms and hands, and wheel chair bound. These students come in an inclusion setting with a general education 1st grade class. I modify lessons and materials to cover the same lesson so that they students are working on the same art project. One examples of this was our recent lesson on self portrait. My 1st grade class was using crayons and pencils. I cut out heads, eyes, noses, and mouths, using hand over hand technique, the support aide assisted students with making a self-portrait. I used yarn for hair and material for the shirt to provide a tactile experience for my students. CFAEFL.org/FineArtsForum

The use of chaining as a strategy can be used to address students with processing disabilities. Breaking down directions and tasks into smaller steps assists with students who might need visuals as well as written directions. Another strategy is peer partners. Students can give feedback to each others as well as assist students or model best practices. |
