“Think of a student with a disability you have now, or have had in the past. Identify their disability.”
A student I have is listed as having extremely slow processing and ADHD.
“Describe the way in which their disability affected their learning.”
When talking to this student, they don’t always catch all or any of what was said. They are easily distracted and have been known to spend 15-20 minutes in the bathroom due to distraction. This student cannot watch a video and be expected to retain anything in it after watching it once.
“Describe at least one or more ways you successfully accommodated or modified instruction for this student.” Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I post everything to Google Classroom. I post any videos or slides there and emphasize to the the student that it is there for review. I also have provided transcripts of the video attached in Google classroom. I repeat instructions and make sure to pause after every sentence. I am prepared to repeat and re-demonstrate to this student individually often. I also have to make sure to make eye contact and ask for understanding frequently. It is more of developing my own habits to slow down and accommodate his needs. |

"Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to describe the specific technology and how it assisted the student with a disability"
I used an online game called "I <3 Hue" to teach color theory and mixing principles to my art students. I have one learner who has ADHD and very slow processing. This student benefitted from the instruction (and in a way formative assessment for me) being in the form of a game. I modeled the game myself first, then had the class speak aloud as to next steps, then had students individually participate in the game on their chromebooks (students are not allowed ipads or smartphones in class and we have no smartboards or anything). As the student participated in the game, I noticed he had more trouble differentiating subtle differences in the colors, even when his screen brightness was up. The feedback given from the CAI for this student kept him from making further mistakes and gave instant feedback on these subtle color differences, even when I was assisting other classmates. |

Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the art classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
A student I have with Dyslexia I have given the option to create a video instead of a powerpoint so she did not have to present information using text, but the auditory responses still showed her acquired knowledge. |
