Students with Disabilities

I teach elementary visual arts. I see all of the students in our school. I have a 3rd grader that has Autism Spectrum Disorder. They have an orthopedic impairment and it is difficult for them to hold art making tools. I have used pencil grips and ergonomic brushes and tools. These accommodations have helped them with their lessons. |

Tools And Strategies

I think peer partners and technology could be helpful for art students with disabilities. Peer partners can keep students with disabilities on task while providing them the additional support from their peer's understanding of the material. Technology such as the SmartBoard can make it easier for students with Visual Impairment or Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing students to see and hear the demonstrations/presentations. |

Assessment of Learning

Some examples of adaptive assessments I have used successfully are a fine arts rubric and art money/ticket out the door. The fine arts rubric has been helpful to keep students with Autism Spectrum Disorder relaxed and less stressed/overwhelmed about learning, producing artwork, and self-assessing. The Art Money/Ticket Out The Door are awarded for answering questions correctly about lessons and it is an easy way to monitor and understand their progress. |
