Students with Disabilities

I teach at a school with an EBD unit. All of those students are mainstreamed into to specials classes and come with their grade level. Some of them have a hard time focusing on their work in art because they want to show off to their peers. I make it a point to always try to give some one on one attention to each of them to help them get motivated to work on their project. I sit with them and talk to them about the project and how school is going and what they have going on in their lives to show them that I care about them. Showing EBD students that you care about them is very important to not only help them learn but help them feel appreciated. |

Tools and Strategies

Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name and describe how they could be used to address the needs of a student with a disability.
In my art classroom I could use Peer Partners and Learning Centers. Peer partners would be especially useful in during my fourth grade class when SWDs join them. When discussing artwork or working on a project, I can partner them up and they can work together. SWDs would like this better than working with a paraprofessional. I can use learning centers for my younger SWDs. They can choose, with the help of their paraprofessional, the centers that work best for them. |

I have a few students with ADHD. I give them extra work time to allow them to take breaks during their projects. This helps them to not get frustrated while working. |
