I am a second grade teacher. I have a student in my class who has other health Impairment like sickle cell. Due to COVID, she is a Remote Learning student. This student is two grades behind in Reading. She is also in my small group and Tier 3 Response To Intervention. I meet with her in a small group in the breakout room during class time and after school. Sometimes, I wish she was in school physical because she complains of her vision due to too much screen time on the computer. Reducing her work, reteaching, small group intervention, and working with her from a kindergarten level has really helped her. Even though she is not reading at a second grade level, but she is progressing slowly with her reading. She is now a grade behind. |

I use Smart Board in my classroom for my visual impairment student because it allows me to meet my student's need. When I teach a Science or Social Studies lesson. This also helps my student to interact and understand the lesson bein taught in class. |

In my classroom, I have a student with Sickle Cell. She gets overwhelm easily. When using story map, I allow her to draw pictures rather than write in details to show characters, setting, plot, and problem. I give her more time during assessment. she takes a break and I also read aloud the questions to her. Part of her IEP is to have her test questions reduce. When testing, student sits away from distraction. She is an RLI student, I always mute myself during testing so as to minimize the distraction in the classroom, because I have some kids that are Brick and Mortar. |

I also do the same thing that you do with my student too. I read the questions a loud to her if she is struggling with words. But with my student I cannot stand by her desk because she is online, so what I do is mute myself so she is not distracted with BAM students. I also tell the other online students. not to unmute during testing but to write in the chat if they have questions.

I do agree with you , video clips are great way to provide visual information, especially with the younger ones. It is interactive. This is a way to meet students, needs.

Video clips are great way to give ample visual information in a short three minute segment for overview of lesson material or when wanting to show a clip demonstrating an art technique such as making a coil pot. If a student is struggling with a specific step, the clip can be replayed. It is also helpful for students that enter class late due or for students that missed a part of the lesson. |

Last year, I had a student with ADHD. To help him with his organization skill and staying on task, I created a chart for him. I tape this chart on his desk. He gets stickers for following the task on his desk and at the end of the week he goes to Treasure box if he gets 5 stickers.

I had a student with severe ADHD. She had a terrible time staying on task and also had no organizational skills at all. I would always make sure that I gave her preferential seating in the classroom and always collected all assignments from her personally so that she didn't forget where to put it. After giving the instructions to the class I always went over to her to repeat the directions and check for understanding, I also gave her a buddy to work with to help keep her on task. |
