I had a student several years back who was legally blind, but had some sight. As one can imagine, it is difficult to distinguish pieces of art from a tiny page or book when severely visually impaired. We were able to acquire some assistive technology that would allow her to zoom in on artwork displayed on a computer so that she could better be able to make out details. |

One way that technology was used in my art class for a student with autism was using the program Blender.This was something this one particular student could figure out and be successful with at his own pace.He seemed to enjoy the challenge during some parts and also seemed satisfied with repeating some of the steps over and over.He also enjoyed some drawing programs for the same reason.
I have never heard of this program, but it sounds like it would be beneficial for me to check it out. I have an autistic student in my class that could probably benefit from using it. |

I had a student with a disability who was unable to use a pencil or a physical drawing tool to produce writing assignments or assignments which required drawing or coloring. I was able to get an easy to use writing and art program that could be used on a tablet to facilitate these assignments to this particular student. The student was successfully able to use thse tech tools to submit their work. |

I have a student in my class that has an Orthopedic disability. Strategies that I employ to assist him is seating in close proximity to materials, the sink and the front of the room where I can assist him. There are several students in the class that have demonstrated helpful behaviors and I have seated with them. The peers help the student with accessing materials, bringing visual samples to the student's table for him to view and assist with clean up and storage of his projects. He is able to use most materials in the art room, but providing him with larger scissors and wider diameter drawing utensils has helped him to achieve success in his work.
I have found that when there is a healthy, safe environment in your classroom, other students are very willing to help and assist my students with disabilities. Peer collaboration is very effective. |

I have a student with ADHD who has a hard time sitting still and staying quiet. What I did was make my summative assessment a partner activity, because as long as he gets to be social, he is very capable and works well with other kids. They all did well on the assessment and demonstrated mastery of the lesson taught. |

Adaptive: Again with one of my bigger challenges was one with a Student with MS and i had to adapt all o the drawing instruments for his hands and adapt his board for his wheel chair. Orthopedic disabilities make you problem solve to adapt your lesson and the materials to each individuals needs.
It sounds like you were able to successfully step up to the plate and provide the necessary accommodations to help the be successful. |
