Students with Disabilities

I have multiple students with severe impairments both intellectual and physical. To better accommodate these students, I use a one on one strategy and assist the students in identifying colors and drawing lines and shapes. I also use Tempera Paint Sticks with these learners due to the larger size. I have found that smaller implements i.e. markers, crayons, etc. are harder for these learners to grasp and manipulate. |

Tools And Strategies

Fine Arts educators (choose one):
- Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name and describe how they could be used to address the needs of a student with a disability.
- Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to describe the specific technology and how it assisted the student with a disability.
Learning Centers: In my self contained classes, I set up various centers such as free draw, coloring, clay, and one on one/ small group lesson area. I have found this works best with this group by allowing various levels of skill to be put to use.
Peer Partners: Within the art room setting for inclusive learners, I often group these learners with high achieving or skilled partners to assist and discuss topics and produce art.
I use technology in variety of ways. One primary example where technology was used is for a visually impaired student. I used the projector and document camera to enlarge the directions for a drawing. |

Assessment of Learning

- Describe an example of adapted assessment you have successfully used in the fine arts classroom for students with disabilities.
In completing assessments for the SAO, I conduct written assessments. For certain students, to accommodate their needs, I have orally presented the test. Additionally, I have accepted oral answers when needed. |
