Case: Non-Verbal Student in Wheelchair
In my internship classroom, I have a student who is Non-Verbal and in a wheelchair. She is 17 years old and is on the level of about an 8 month old. She is able to get out of her wheelchair and sit in a normal chair for short periods of time and is able to walk with the help of a wall or railing. This is my first experience with a self-contained ESE student. My issue is, that because she is on such a different level then the rest of my students, it is difficult for me to dedicate a lot of attention when it comes to teaching her. She often becomes board in the classes with other students, and will begin to wheel around the room and snatch books and papers from other students and throw them across the room. This is often a huge distraction in the classroom. She does have a paraprofessional that accompanies her throughout the day, but sometimes she has to step out to help other students. How can I keep this student occupied throughout the day, so she does not disrupt the rest of the students? She also often refuses to do other activities that I have prepared for her.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The best thing to do would be to engage the student with in the lesson though differentiation. My first thought would be to talk with her Para, chances are they have worked with this student for a good amount of time and might have some insight as to what types of activities engage her. If for what ever reason the Para is unable to provide this information talk to your CT or another teacher familiar with the student. Then find workbooks or work pages from outside sources, or even create project based activities so that the student is engaged and not board she is not on level with the other students in the classroom. Felt quiet books are something that are time consuming and sometimes expensive to make but can be adapted to many different subjects. Use picture based flashcards to build vocabulary about emotions. Allow her the opportunity to participate in whole group activities such as a using a reading software on the i pad. |

Comments: Great idea! I love the idea of the use of felt books and picture based flashcards. Anything that is visal and will keep her entertained should work.
