I had a student with ASD. He was unable to participate in the class unless the instructions were written in a list form and kept with no more then three to four tasks. Once we were able to figure this out with his support team, he was able to complete the tasks at hand. |

I have successfully used technology in my art classroom to help an autistic student understand primary and secondary colors. I was told by his family how much he enjoys animation and music. Knowing this I was able to locate a cartoon which had a animated song showing the colors mixing in various scenes while being song by a robot on an unicorn. They even explained cool and warm colors. I showed this to my whole class with my laptop hooked up to a projector. It was enjoyed by all the students in the class, while catching the rapt attention of the autistic student. He was then able to successfully create a painting using his acquired knowledge on colors. |

Assessment of Learning

For my student with a SLD, I have made the directions in a list form each direction is accompanied by a simply drawn picture illustrating the direction. This is put in poster form at the front of the room for all to see. I also demonstrate using a document camera. This way we can go over every direction I can demonstrate and then have him refer to the poster if directions are forgotten along the way as the task is completed. The completed project is the assessment because I can see by the finished project if the concept and directions were understood. |
