I had a student who was deaf. He was an excellent student, very interested in his classwork, with a strong desire to do well. He wore hearing aids and had a mild speech impediment. I had him seated in the desk closest to me. He was usually able to understand. Fortunately, there was a student next to him who would help as necessary. I also made it a point to write all directions for work on the whiteboard.. |

Two strategies
Cooperative Learning I've used this a lot. Students with various skills can work together to construct a product of some type. Some enjoy organizing, some like to do research, some like to be creative. One important aspect is that everyone should have a job and be responsible.
Venn Diagrams---Excellent strategy to visually understand facts and eliminate unneeded clutter from discussion or writing. |

Assessment of Learning

I had a student with CP. She had difficulty writing. Sometimes I just asked her to complete all Multiple choice questions. Other times I asked her to complete only some of the short answer questions or one essay question. It worked well, because it gave me a pretty good understanding of her knowledge. |
