I taught 5th graders and had one visually impaired student. I used several of the modifications and adaptations suggested in this course already. He was allowed to choose a seat he felt best allowed him to participate in the class so he could hear and feel the "sounds". Anything written was enlarged or provided digitally so he could himself enlarge the size as well as change contrasting if necessary. For my ADHD students, I employed a variety of methods that helped all students as well. Materials or procedures with multiple steps were broken down into small chunks and practice lessons. Using hand signals that also include auditory cues was beneficial in maintaining attention as well as student engagement. Having students repeat back to me the phrase or instruction has been most helpful as well. |
