Students With Disabilities

I have a student this year that is autistic. She is able to articulate her feelings and what she is and is not cable of. She works at an extremely slow rate and is constantly erasing and redrawing the same lines over and over again during class. I give her plenty of extended time to work on projects and usually have her complete smaller tasks on her own with extra time. For larger tasks, I will usually help her one on one or pair her with another student to help her along with the project. She usually completes one project in the time it takes other students two projects to complete. She is extremely proud of her work and accomplishments with whatever she creates. |

1. Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your art classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name, and describe how they could be used to address the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I could potentially implement guided notes and chaining into my art classroom. Some of my students with disabilities have a hard time remembering or following along with information shared in the classroom. Some pf my projects link art history into the lesson before making the project. Guided noted will help students to follow along and write down notes as we go through the short history of the artist we are speaking about. I can use chaining to help students follow the steps and directions needed to create the art project.
2. Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your art classroom. Be sure to identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I have a student with ADHD. She was very easily distracted but I found that she loved to create artwork using her tablet that she brought from home. I would allow her to complete her projects using a digital platform as opposed to the traditional way. This helped her to stay on-task and focus on the assignment. She was allotted extra time (as per her IEP), but was always able to finish her assignments this way. She was not able to finish any assignments when asked to do it with traditional materials. |

1. Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the art classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I had a student who was high on the autism spectrum. It was difficult for him to express himself through speech and he had very poor motor skills. One project that I had with my students was to create pillows. Since it was difficult for him to sew, I gave him an alternative assignment and had him create a weaving instead. We worked together on his fine motor skills to weave and create a pillow using a weaving instead. He enjoyed using the soft yarn and having the choices of the different colors of yarn to create his pillow. We were able to use his weaving in his final design of his pillow. |
