Students with Disabilities

I have a student named Malachi who has emotional and behavioral disabilities that affect his performance in Art. When I show him what we will be creating he does not even want to attempt to do it, but rather complain and state that he cannot do it. I therefore sit down with the student to get him started which usually causes him to want to participate with the making of the art project. If I am unable to sit with Malachi I have a helping student who will sit with him to assist him as needed. |

1. Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I have a student (Amber) who is hard of hearing who wears an amplifier around her neck which transmits to her hearing aide. In addition to having directions written on the board visible to all students, I also stand near Amber whenever I verbally go over the directions so as her amplifier can assist in a more effective manner. If she has questions about an art project and I am unable to assist at the moment I have her seated next to her good friend who assists her. |

Option 2: Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I have used a small microphone/amplifier which is connected to my Promethean board which has helped a student who has partial hearing loss. Not only does the microphone/amplifier assist the student with hearing loss but it also encourages not as much chatter among the other students in class particularly when I am delivering instruction. |
