4th grade students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Orthopedic Impairment. The main area we have to address is the student's ability to grasp objects like pencils, crayons, paintbrushes, etc. and to use scissors. For this we use a large gripper that can be added to each drawing/painting utensil in order to allow him to properly hold them and participate in the class projects. We also have adaptive scissors that only require the student to squeeze in order to cut paper, instead of having to push and pull the scissors with his fingers. |

1. In my classroom, I could use different learning centers for students. I can form small groups for my self-contained classes and begin incorporating more meaningful instruction for each group by providing different types of lessons at each learning station. I can also apply the strategy of a peer partner when teaching with my students who push into art with another class. A peer partner will be able to help the student with a disability to model the skills they will practice, as well as help them when they make a mistake. |

I have used the strategy of response cards / white boards as part of ongoing assessment in my classroom when my students learn about shapes. This allows students who are nonverbal to answer questions by giving a visual response. It allows me to assess the students ability to identify shapes, as well as their development in physically creating the shapes. Students have the option to draw the correct answer or to write it depending on their preferences and abilities. |
