Think of a student with a disability you have now, or have had in the past. Identify their disability. Describe the way in which their disability affected their learning. Describe at least one or more ways you successfully accommodated or modified instruction for this student:
I have a student who is dyslexic in my advanced theatre class. Knowing that we read plays out loud, she generally needs to have the play at least a week in advance to read through it and make notes that help her be confident, and then I encourage her throughout the process to take her time. She generally chooses roles that have less lines, and has been successful in not letting the disability get the best of her. She has been in the theatre class for all 4 of her high school years. |

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 identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
Having a student with dyslexia, it's important for her to have access to scripts in advance, I am able to share those scripts with her electronically, making them more accessible, allowing her to zoom in and isolate sections where appropriate. |

Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I had a student who was out of class because of a hospital/homebound situation, so instead of performing in front of the class, they recorded their performance through FlipGrid, and submitted it online, recording as many times as they needed to to achieve the desired results. |
