I had a pottery student who had had a stroke and only had use of her left side so I taught myself how to do everything one handed so I could make sure the things I asked her to do were not only feasible but manageable for her to complete while still having good craftsmanship. She was my strongest potter in the whole class because I had instilled in her the confidence she needed by accommodating our practices to fit her needs. |

I had 3 students this year with a learning disability-they were Autistic. Several of my lesson plans-projects involve multiple steps in creating the artwork so these students didn't always understand all the steps or remember all the steps in order. To help them, I gave them written instructions with pictures on the steps for these students to be able to follow. I shortened the wording on the steps and added pictures and put them in a binder for these students to refer to as needed. They could also use these written instructions with pictures in their sketchbooks too. In addition to verbally giving the students instructions, I modeled the steps and gave written instructions to my students. With my 3 students I also would check in with them frequently and paired them up with a buddy at their table to also assist if needed. |
