I had a student who was visually impaired - actually legally blind. Part of his accommodations were that printed materials should appear on 11x17 paper. When I had printed material for the class I made sure that his copies were on 11x17 paper. |

A couple years ago I had several students who were behaviorally disruptive. I used a software program on the iPad where each of these studens would "feed" hisher monster so that it would grow at the end of music class. In order to "feed the monster", they had to have positive behavior during music class, meaning that they did not receive a behavior check during that 40 minute period. This little software program was extremely motivating and success to each of these students. They wanted to be able to "feed their monster" at the end of music class! |

One of my students is on the autism spectrum, with auditory sensory issues. He also has great difficulty copying vocabulary from the screen. The accommodations for these issues are 1) the student wears headphones to dampen the sound during Music Class; and 2) I print a copy of the vocab words for him to keep in his binder. He has "good days" and "bad days", but overall, he has been successful in Music Class. |
