I once had a student that was severely visually impaired. To assist him, I sat him as close to the the front of the room as possible. That way he would have closer access to visuals and presentations. I also printed out directions with extra large fonts to help him see the directions ( I also provided him with a magnification sheet that helped him as well. I worked with him individually and explained all parts of the lessons so he would be on point. In addition I also provided him with extra large reproductions of visuals that were part of the lesson. He was afforded additional time for his art projects and did a great job in art! |

I have used the IPad to help a student who had issues with tarditional media. In drawing class he didn't like the tactile texture of the various drawing media so I had him use the IPad to create works using the different media tools to mimic the traditional media. He was extremely happy with this as his projects had the same look as the pastel portraits, watercolor landscapes, and mixed-media works to name a few. The different tools and his ease and familiarity with the technology helped him overcome this physical tactile obstacle and helped him create outstanding works in drawing class! |

I once had a student who had issues reading written tests and taking these type of assessments. She was more comfortable with oral directions, so I decided to record the test and have an audio version that she could play and pause as she took the written test with headphones. I also gave her additional time per her IEP and this dramatically helped her improve in her test-taking and with these assessments. |
