I used to work with students with various disabilities. I remember how my kids with EBD would want to participate, however, their ability to overcome their own emotions was a challenge. They wanted to perform and yet sometimes their behavior would make them close off to the lessons due to lack of confidence or how they would be viewed by their peers. I always tried to encourage my students to use music making as a way to release some of those emotions. I would also premise my class as a safe space where they could be vulnerable without judgement. |

Two strategies that could be implemented in music class is grouping students into reciprocal learner groups and breaking the lessons into parts using the cube or scaffolding methods. This would help students with disabilities to grasp the concepts with the assistance of peers and appropriate pacing. I have used technology to reach my students with EBD, it helped them connect to the lessons and to their individuality. |

An adapted assessment that was successful was having my students with disabilities play a simpler version of the same song to show their understanding. My students in the past have benefitted from providing extra time for their assessments, sitting near me, reading instructions to the students and giving them more practice time. |
