In the past I had a band student with OI. He was unable to use his left hand, was small in stature, and walked with a gait. In beginning band, much effort went in to choosing an instrument that he was excited about, that could be held/ performed using only the right hand and could be transported by him. Ultimately, we settled on the baritone, but strapped the case to a small rolling dolly for transportation. I was also able to allow him a second instrument to keep at home for practice. |

Option 1: I have had a multitude of SLD students. All of my students have a variety of ways they may take their playing tests: 1. They may perform the test individually in class. 2. The student may perform the test individually before or after school without an audience. 3. The student may use the technology softeware that comes with our method book to create an audio recording and send it to me electronically. Or 4. The student may create a video recording of themselves performing the assessment and email it to me. Also, all tests may be retaken as many times as needed until the student reaches a score with which they are happy. |

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 several "SLD" students who struggle with Solo & Ensemble. On my band website, I have created a link to a Dropbox account that has accompaniment recordings to the solos. On these recordings, I help count rests and call rehearsal numbers so that students know they are in the correct place I need the music. Now, the student can rehearse with the accompimant as many times as they'd like, wherever they are. |

Describe an example of adapted assessment you have successfully used in the fine arts classroom for students with disabilities.
All of my students, may take their playing tests in class, before/ after school, or at home by recording themselves and then emailing the video to me. Students may also choose to retake their playing test as many times as needed, making improvements along the way, until they master the task or receive a grade with which they are happy. |
