This year, I have a student that has visual impairment in my Art 1 class. She has trouble seeing objects that are not large or high contrast. Outlines are a struggle for her. I figured out it's also an issue of depth perception and she also has Autism. We have worked on adapting as we go. I take her lead and listen for what she is struggling with and we have talked about how to talk to other teachers for accommodations as her Autism can make asking for accommodations seem a little off-putting from her. Listening to her and truly trying to understand her needs are what made it easier to anticipate what accommodations she might need and how to make the project work as she wanted to do what everyone else is doing and most of the time could keep up with the rest of the class for would even be ahead. |
