Option 2:
I have been currently using a touch screen monitor for students for students with non-verbal speaking situations, they are able to touch the screen to explain what they have learned. Also with blind students, they can hear the music and describe the music as well from the monitor such as a online xylophone where students can play and hear it as well. The screen does stay and does not change at all. It is very essential because the students can draw and write on the screen as well. It keeps them engaged. |

Students with Disabilities

In the past, I had a student who was visually impaired to see what was going on in my music room when he was in the classroom. When the student is listening to music, he could identify certain parts of the music that other students could not hear. He was able to respond to my verbal questions if there were any related to listening maps or listening lessons. Instead of giving the student a work sheet or a song on paper, the student was able to follow along while I plucked notes on the piano or verbally said a phrase and the student was able to repeat or respond to singing. |

Assessment of Learning

Option 1: Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the music classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
With completing a test with a blind student, they were able to complete a listening test to see if the music changed or not or even what has changed with the music. Whereas the student could identify whether or not something happened with the music and they were able to answer the questions verbally. There are a few students who are not able to speak and they are able to do dance moves to music and use crayons and draw pictures. It is good to condense and keep the assessment really simple because the student did acquire it completely. |
