I have taught a student with a physical disability which restricted vision and the student only had the use of one arm and hand. He had a very positive attitude but did not like to ask for help unless absolutely necessary. To accommodate this student, instructions were given in very large print at least 3 days before all other students. During activities where both hands were needed, I would either pair him with another student or I would act as his other hand. At first I didn't realize how many simple activities would be difficult for this student, but I soon began to see each lesson through the eyes of this student. I changed many activities throughout the year or pre-cut, poured, measured things for this student before class so he was able to use class time more efficiently. |
