I had a student with ADHD who was impulsive and often worked too quickly. His products often lacked detail and didn't show meaningful learning. To accommodate this student in fine arts (3D art projects), I would break each product down into separate steps. I allowed him to work on individual pieces of the assignments until his efforts reached the requirements of the project rubric. I provided him with frequent breaks and allowed him to sit or stand when working as he saw fit. These modifications helped the student complete projects and do more detailed work. |

I have a KG student who has a learning disability- he is Autistic. He is smart, but gets overwhelmed in my classroom. Many times he wants to run around the room and touch my instruments or personal items on my desk. I have created a special spot for him to sit (a magic carpet). He knows now to come straight to the carpet. I also have made a point to model the correct way to handle an instrument and many times I have to have the student practice a few times how to put an instrument away or he picks a friend to help show him.
Routines are good for autistic students so having him do things according to your modeling is, no doubt, helpful for this child. |

I have a student in two of my art classes who is selectively mute. First of all, her parents provided all of her educators with information so we could be informed. She is a delightful student, and we have developed codes and. Undies to assist. She carries a small notepad for when she has a question. There is a student that sits with her who will talk for her when we have oral presentations. This girl is an amazing artist, and in the school year I have learned how to anticipate questions or issues she might have. The amazing thing is that she actually laughed out loud in class one day! The class has been accepting of her and we all really like having her in art! This year, she had two pieces in the county art show, won a best of the best award, and was "most dedicated art student." None of this was handed to her because of her SLD, but because she earned it.
I have found that many disabled students are good in art. "Selectively mute" is definitely unusual! |
