One of my students with ADHD is allowed to choose "mini projects" to create once he has completed certain steps in our class project. He has a paper with targets to achieve in order to earn his "mini project". Breaking up his required project into digestible bites has helped achieve his class goals and he is rewarded for his success with additional creativity. |

That's so cool that the twins will draw each other event though they are in separate classes. I have experienced similar issues with class response to these situations. The dynamics in each class is so different, requiring our modifications to be different in order to provide the best learning environment for all students.AnnRobles wrote:
I have twins (separate classes), who have autism. Both twins have difficulty focusing and one uses earmuffs to help with sensitivity to noise. They both enjoy drawing and art in general: however, will often get up and walk around and sometimes roll around on the carpet area. In one of the classes, the other students will ignore this, and I can redirect my student. In the other class, my twin gets some support from his classmates who will try to redirect him. Unfortunately, this can sometimes result in agitating my student further and I am having to discourage this. Both twins had an aid at the beginning of the year who left, and since then we have not been able to replace. I have noticed that both boys are able to handle drawing better than painting or other multi-step processes. I sometimes modify the assignment or allow the boys to do an alternative assignment with free-drawing (which is their favorite). An interesting point is that the boys will sometimes draw each other together even though they are in different classes and live in different homes. |

I had a student with TBI who had assistive technology as one of his accommodations. In art class I had an ipad for him to use both for art creating and during our critique process for writing. |

In the past I had a student with a processing disorder. His accommodations allowed for questions to be read allowed and oral response. When filling out our artist's critique, I would orally ask him questions, repeat as necessary, and record his oral responses. |
