Students with Disabilities

I have a few students with Intellectual Disabilities (IND).
I try to make sure they are seated close to me so I can provide a little more guidance. I sometimes prep some of their supplies if I know that they have trouble with something like scissors. I also try to have a partner student. I make sure the partner student has time to do their own art as well, but it's students who have a little extra patience and are willing to help out. |

I have not used Task cards yet, but I definitely see how they could be useful! I see 24 classes at my two schools. Having laminated task cards would be a great way to easily give students different ways to learn about the same topic. I could have cards being color coded so that I could make sure students could be given tasks I know they could succeed at or would enjoy based on their learning styles.
I have had students make graphic organizers before, but I would like to incorporate semantic maps that could show how certain words relate to each other or how different words go toward a certain topic. For example - we could write the name of a piece of art in the center - then out from there, have different parts of that artwork - like the color, shapes, lines, and so forth. |

I have a student who has behavioral needs and who get angry when they make a mistake. This was becoming an issue when they would think they would mess up their artwork we were creating. By having a part on the rubric focusing on process rather than result (did they try their best vs. does it look good), their attention becomes based more on that. |
