Students With Disabilities

I have a wheelchair bound student who is capable of moving/walking from his wheelchair to a chair if he chooses. He has muscular and skeletal issues and has an assistant who helps him to and from class and is also available to help him out in class if necessary. I made sure he can pull his wheelchair up to a table so he does not have to transfer to a chair on a regular basis. He is welcome to get up and sit in a chair if he chooses (and he has) or he can stay in his wheelchair. Both options are available. Additionally, he has access to a laptop to assist him in his daily class activities as needed. |

Tools and Strategies

I have used a Lenovo laptop computer for a student with a disability. He is able to take notes during the lesson and he can upload the finished product at the end of the lesson. Additionally, he can follow along the PowerPoint by using a link to the file to pull it up and not have to rely on seeing the large TV screen. Since the laptop is portable, he is able to move around to an accessible spot as needed to continue to follow the lesson and use the laptop at the same time. The laptop allows a flexibility for learning he would not normally have in a traditional paper driven class. |

Assessment of Learning

I have a student who is disabled and in a wheelchair. He is capable of transferring to a chair if he chooses and has on occasion. In terms of his assessments, I have to make sure he can access a table or writing surface while in his wheelchair and that he can write while at the table or use his laptop. I adapt the assessment to be as accessible as possible and put the majority of his work/assessments on the laptop. This allows him freedom of movement to type and sit at a table to complete his work/assessment. Additionally, I check in with him on a regular basis throughout class one on one and we do a thumbs up, thumb down quick check as needed. |
