Students with Disabilities

I currently have a 6th grade boy on the autism spectrum. He's very intelligent and is eager to learn new things. However, he refuses to pick up a pencil to write anything. I currently am teaching science, moving to art next year. I have been able to adapt to computer technology fairly easily. In an art setting, I would adopt the same approach. I would utilize art and editing software in his case. For daily ongoing assessment, we rely on verbal responses as well. |

Tools and Strategies

one strategy that I would use in my art classroom is tiered lessons. Lessons would be adjusted based on readiness and complexity. More advanced students would be assigned more complex tasks to go along with main lessons. Students needing more support would be provided with scaffolding to help them reach the set goal.
Another strategy would be technology in the classroom. Next year, I will be teaching digital art, so Ipads will be an integral part of my tool kit. I am in the process of learning new applications for students to use. |

Assessment of Learning

This past year, I did have a student on the autistic spectrum who did not write or draw on paper. I was able to assess him and provide computer based assignments to assess his understanding. For art, I would utilize digital art resources such as procreate or photopea for him to create visual art without the use of handwriting or drawing. |
