My student had a visual disability and was at a definite disadvantage when compared to the other students. I worked with the school administrators to arrange to use visual aids for the student. The student was provided braille materials and was able to use the services of a special teacher to compliment my instructing them. There were also arrangements to move the student closer to the front of the classroom. Technology at the time was not that advanced. However, the student improved a great deal. |

The student that I taught was hearing impaired. They could not hear well and I utilized alternative assessments in determining their progress. I helped the student read instructions on their assessments. (Shorten the instructions) Make the instructions as simple as possible) Use of more visuals rather than written material. By using more visuals, the student would understand the material better than listening to the instructor. |

Several strategies that could be implemented in my classroom as a result of a student disability would be the use of graphic organizers. The students respond well to various types of graphic organizers and they are effective in the classroom. A student with a disability benefits from being able to view organized information in a meaningful way. Venn diagrams for example, shows similarities as well as differences of an object or subject. The student is able to process the material and it can be presented in a way in which the student can learn. |

In order to meet the needs of a student with a disability, technology assisted the student via an overhead projector and use of oversized print. The student was visually impaired and could not see very well. By putting the documents into the device, it made it less difficult for the student to see the material. The notes and classroom material were projected onto the board or wall for the impaired student to see. They did not always have to move so close to the front of the room. |

The student that I taught in the pass had a disability that affected their ability to learn because they could not retain information well. I was difficult for them to focus and was not able to retain much. Because of this impairment, the information was broken down in smaller chunks and were gone over more than one or two times to check their comprehension of the material. I also paired the student up with another student to help them. |

The visually impaired student that I taught had trouble seeing written material even from close up. I had to make numerous adjustments to assure that the student was able to see and understand the material. Hands-on activities, pictures as well as diagrams were found to be beneficial in reaching my student. The hands-on activities made it easier for the student to see the material more closely. Also, in using a study guide such as the 2-column note format, it is helpful because content material is organized for study. |
