Students with Disabilities

I once taught a student who was visually imparied. In order to accommodate her I gave her preferential seating so she could see the board during lessons. I used special projectable lyrics when necessary and I also consulted with her vision teacher about adaptive tools she could use during class when necessary. She enjoyed music and even wrote a song while I taught her.
I have also taught students who have been identified as being on the autism spectrum. In order to accommodate those students I picked songs where they were able to have opportunities for legitimate moving and or dancing. |

I use a mneumonic device all the time when teaching the lines and spaces. I teach them the Every Good Boy Does Fine and the FACE one for spaces and I give the opportunity to make one of their own if they can think of one they can remember better.
When I teach songs to the K-1 students I use task analysis. Breaking the song down into sections until the students learn each section then we put the whole thing together. I am about to start teaching Pre-K music. I hope the same strategy works for them. i anticipate that I will have to break instruction down into even smaller chunks. |
