In my Creating 3-D Art class I have many ESE students, some definitely are challenged with techniques that require fine motor skills. One example that come to mind is a Metal Sculpture project we do whereby the students must use cold connections, using pliers in a particular way to clamp one end of the 16 gauge steel wire onto another piece. One modification is to provide an aluminum wire that is a softer metal and easier to manipulate. In some cases I have accommodated by assisting with that part of the process, the rationale being that the student most importantly is still generating ideas and making their own artistic choices. |

- Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to describe the specific technology and how it assisted the student with a disability. *I have allowed students to use an iPad or devise to draw and plan for projects, and/or take notes.

- Describe an example of adapted assessment you have successfully used in the fine arts classroom for students with disabilities. *I build in a floor for every assessment based on the course level and reasonable expectations therein. For example the floor grade for an intro class might be 70% for participating and completing a project, no matter the technical skill, craftsmanship, creativity, or overall aesthetic value. Often for students with disabilities that floor will be set at 90%.
