Differentiated Classroom Strategies
-
Changing environment
consider the space the student learn in and be prepared to bring them into a more comfortable environment
Ahmed--In my flow chart I mentioned working with a small groups as a differentiation strategy. Having kids in small groups change the environment and can help kids be more comfortable.(https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lBSGE8A=/)

Classroom Strategies
Baby Steps Method: Break each part of the lesson down step by step. Wait until the students have mastered each step before moving on to the next one.
-
-
Concrete Learning Experiences: real time lessons so students understand the relevancy and can also practice their skills in person, especially for life skills. Ex. going to the supermarket
-
-
-
Switch up the physicality of the lessons often. Some lessons will require movement, others will require sitting down.

Deafness - Scott

-
Use assisted listening devices like transcribers or speech to text equipment. Minimize background noise for this reason.
Repeat questions asked by other students in the class before answering the question. This will help for the transcriptions of the questions.
-
Provide a subject specific jargon and vocabulary handout to the student before the lesson starts so they can familiarize themselves with the new words.

Orthopedic Impairment
Less than >1% of students are diagnosed with this type of disability: Sokoya Cooper
Other Health Impairment (15%) Jennie Lee
What is Other Health Impairment? :red_flag:
Other health impairment means having limited strength, vitality or alertness, including a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli, that results in limited alertness with respect to the educational environment, that is due to chronic or acute health problems. This includes, but is not limited to, asthma, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, diabetes, epilepsy, a heart condition, hemophilia, lead poisoning, leukemia, nephritis, rheumatic fever, sickle cell anemia, and acquired brain injury.

Classroom Strategies
The teacher could break down the tasks into small parts and steps. The student could have a checklist so they could track down the things they've done and needs to do.
The teacher could ask questions during class to check if the student is following the class contents.
- 1 more item...
The teacher could use tablets or computers to conduct classes. Using an app, the teacher would be able to track each student's progress on the task.
- 1 more item...
The students could have an emergency communication device. So when they are in a situation they could not shout out for help, they could just simply press the button on the device.
-
Always have emergency contacts and links (doctors, instructional assistant, therapists, special and general education teachers) in case of emergency.
-
Arrange the seats close to the teacher, where the students could be least distracted.
-
-
An orthopedic impairment is can be caused by a congenial anomaly, disease, and other causes, i.e. amputations, fractures, etc.
Poliomyelitis (Polio)
Bone Tuberculosis
Cerebral Palsy
Contractures: caused from burns and fractures. It is the tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin and nearby tissue that causes the joints to become stiff

A child who has eyesight problems is considered to have a visual impairment. This category includes both partial sight and blindness. If eyewear can correct a vision problem, then it doesn’t qualify.
Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a near or distance vision impairment. In at least 1 billion – or almost half – of these cases, vision impairment could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed
