This past year I had a kindergarten student with severe orthopedic disabilities. She is wheelchair-bound, has very limited dexterity in her hands, and has some behavioral issues. She loves music, and was always very eager to participate. Since this is a Kinder class, I like to do a lot of folk dances and movement. This student became my "steady beat keeper", as she preferred to play a percussion instrument rather than being pushed in her wheelchair. I was constantly impressed by how well she was able to use our many classroom instruments, with or without any adaptation. She was always proud of own success. |
