Students with Disabilities

I have a fifth grade student who is in a wheelchair. We were informed that he did not participate in movement activities at his previous school, but his mom wanted him to do so. Whenever we did dances last year, at first, I partnered up with him so he could participate. Although we couldn't hold elbows, I could turn his wheelchair to do turns. Eventually, I would pair up a student with him after the other children saw how to work with the student and his wheelchair. His wheelchair is too large to be in among the Orff bar instruments. So, I set him up at his own space where he can remain in his wheelchair and play the instrument. I pull one out for him, and he is able to learn the parts that way. |
