I have used text-to-speech to help ESE students hear the pronunciation of multisyllabic words. They are allowed to work with this technology before reading aloud in class to build confidence. |

I have used text-to-speech to help students with words that are difficult to pronounce. This allows them to practice the word before reading aloud in small groups.The same strategy can be used for phrases and sentences. Along with this, I allow students to use a word processor to write character responses and motivation for a particular moment in the story. This allows time for organizing thoughts before speaking/sharing. |

Option 1: Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I have a few students each year with ADHD. I like to give these students a chance to participate in TABLEAU activities. As focusing for a long stretch is difficult, Tableau allows students to focus on the motivation, emotions, and dialogue of a particular moment. When done in order, tableau exercising become the foundation for a longer scene sequence. The tableau chunks the learning into smaller sections and allow student to demonstrate mastery of the same skills. |

I have worked with many Autistic students. They need patience and extra supportive classmates when working in small groups. Scene study, in particular, requires special attention as many ideas must be shared and abstract thoughts/interpretation are encouraged. Using student models for performance helps these students see what is needed/desired. To help them more, we establish routines. These routines help the autistic students know what is expected and understand what is required to earn credit. |
