Students With Disabilities

I have taught numerous adaptive art courses for ASD students. Their disability affected their learning in numerous ways. What always is most apparent was how the disability affected fine motor functioning for hands on activities limiting the learners' ability to use traditional art tools and mediums such as scissors, paint brushes, or pencils. Most instruction for these students hand to be done hand over hand. |

2. Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your art classroom. Be sure to identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I use a number of different pieces of technology to assist learners in my art room. A specific one that I use to assist ASD students with fine motor skill is a wide format printer. When working on art reproductions or paper based sculpting I use the wide format printer to create larger images for students to work with instead of being limited to letter size paper. |

1. Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the art classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion
I have taught multiple students with autism that lack the fine motor skills to utilize small materials such as fine paint brushes, oil pastels, or colored pencils. To accommodate and assess their ability with these tools I would substitute them with larger hand held media to utilize on over sized productions. For example the student would demonstrate their ability to paint basic geometric shape in large scale using a 2 inch brush. |
