Students with Disabilities

I taught a student who was autistic. He was incredibly bright but would always second guess himself to the point he would become frustrated and begin to harm himself. We would have to speak to him clearly and literally and remind him that he knows how to accomplish the task. That would help him calm down and focus. |

I had a student who could not use a mouse. He was orthopedically impaired as well as learning impaired. We were able to purchase a computer screen that allowed him to touch his answer choices and write directly on the screen. This allowed him to communicate with others and be assesed on his own. |

Assessment of Learning

I have a student who is autistic. When we were trying to assess the student's ability to write their own rhythms using popsicle sticks we had to make a special place for him in another room so that he could focus on the task and not be overwhelmed with the loud noises in the room caused by the other students sharing with their neighbors. |
