Students with Disabilities

A student with autism found it difficult to be in music class because of the aural stimulation. He would often get louder than the music was playing as a way to help deal with the overstimulation. I gave the student headphones and turned the lights down and the student was able to be more successful. |

Tools and Strategies

Two strategies I would use are cubing and story maps. Story maps would be great for helping students internalize the meaning of lyrics and aid with visualization. Cubing would allow an element of fun while also scaffolding a learning goal into accessible chunks.
I have used technology with a student of mine who had muscular dystrophy and was unable to hold instruments or mallets. Using a xylophone app on an iPad, the student was able to play along with the class. |

Assessment of Learning

Some students with emotional/behavioral disorders refuse to sing in front of their peers. Using Flipgrid allows the students to record themselves privately and then I can review later. They are more comfortable with a singing assessment in this format. |
