I had a student who was wheelchair bound, limited verbal skills, and had muscular and mobility impairments in her hands. In 4th grade all students participated in learning to play the recorder. This posed a challenge because of her inability to simply hold a recorder. In every other way she participated in class to the best of her ability in year previous so she understood reading notes and the staff. I was able to work with our OT/PT teacher and we adapted a xylophone mallet so she was able to hold it. She then was able to learn all the same songs as the recorder students but used a xylophone instead. |
