I have had a number of students that did not have all their fingers. This may not specifically be addressed in IDEA, but it is a problem when playing the recorder, nonetheless. Some of the students were able to adapt a different way to cover the holes on the recorder. I also gave them an alternative part that used only the hand that had more ability. At times, I let them play a drum or xylophone part along with other students so they wouldn't feel singled out. I have since heard that there are recorders made for disabilities of the hands. Each hole can be turned and glued together for that student's needs. It still may be difficult for students with missing fingers. |
